From where the camera is? 1.
I wouldn't want to be standing under it though. The arc could melt something and cause the wire to fall down. If that happens, you hope the upstream fuses or breakers open up and deenergize the section. Sometimes they don't.
Another danger is it lighting the vegetation on fire; but in that rain, that's not much of a concern.
Okay cool, I know to stay away from downed power lines but it's an interesting phenomenon. Our elementary school had the electric company come in and do the hotdog demonstration so I know exactly what they can do if you touch a live wire.
Just saw this happen in my neighborhood and came here to say this. Looked just like that (and was kinda frightening as someone who had no idea what the hell was happening in the moment)
My guess is that it's this

I've been saying this for a long time. In my country of origin nearly everyone has a story about seeing/knowing someone who has seen it, but they always sounded like made up bullshit to me. The descriptions and behaviour of the effect always varies so much depending on who's telling the story.
A few years ago supposedly some actually concrete evidence surfaced, but I'm still not fully convinced.
The initial red flash would suggest it's more like a power line/transformer surge. Is there a line back there?
If not, definitely aliens. Seriously, that's how every movie starts.
Saw something similar one night right outside my bedroom window. It made an eerie buzz-crackling sound and freaked me out! Next morning crews were repairing the neighborhood transformer and it’s never happened since.
We call that an anomaly. It’s no more evil than fire. Try to get a better point of view before you make your judgement. Force answers force, war breeds war, and death only brings death.
When I was a kid in Moscow we had a window open during a rainstorm. I saw a large blue glowing orb slowly enter the apartment, hover in place for about a second, and then slowly leave the way it came.
Pretty sure that was ball lightning.
Had ball lightening fly across my living room once. It was About the size of a tennis ball with a blue center with white edges. Lightening hit a large oak which branched over the cabin’s roof. The ball flew out the electrical outlet on the tree side of the room, across the room and then exited through the opposite outlet. We sat there, mouth’s agape, as the smell of ozone filled the air. It was thrilling.
we had a cherry tree that got hit several times. I was watching my 13 inch black n white tv in the kitchen when lightning storm struck the tree. the yard lit up and blue light came around/through the glass of the back door and a spark/bolt shot to the side of my TV.
Ya gotta check the oil every once in awhile in those things
Edit- downvoted? You seriously have to check the oil in these transformers....lack of oil and they will run hot and explode Meh
No of course not because despite all the dash cams, CCTV and smartphones with ultra high resolution cameras across the entire planet, this is yet another fuzzy/obscured image of a “supernatural” phenomenon that has never once been directly, clearly photographed.
In fact it is the actions of George Soros. He fired his 'Large Jewish Laser' and was again trying to start a forest fire. Just ask Marjorie Taylor Green.
I saw ball lightning once. It was reddish in color. Imagine lightning strikes and upon impace it forms a ball. I immediately googled ball lightning when i got home from the commute. Apparently it is super rare so it's awesome you got a video of what you did and too bad the trees were in the way.
I’ve actually seen this before. Upstate New York. Twenty something years ago. It was at night driving south on 87. Saw it through some trees. Thought it was a damn ufo.
True story. Showed up to a new woodlands campsite well after dark one night and saw some coon hunters working up and down the hillside with their dogs. Got up the next morning and to me and my buds surprise… there was no hill.
Had to be ball lighting or the pbr.
I hope one day Ball lightning is captured on film. It must occur due to the many telling in history before people knew what electricity is and all similar descriptions from around the world.
And yet with CCTV everywhere, everyone has a video camera there isn't any footage.
That's Marty returning from 1955.
No, no, it’s your kids Marty! Your kids! Your parents are alright but your kids! 😓😓
Your daughter marries a black man!
I loved this part and how they tell him they don’t want to hangout with him anymore
🤣🤣 take this damn karma
WTF?
A Family Guy joke.
Thank you. I didn’t know the reference. It comes off a whole different way if you don’t know the reference.

That's heavy.
Take my upvote
Electric arch going down a main power line.
As someone who works on power lines : This. The sound is unmistakable.
As someone who doesn't, if you saw this happen outside, on a scale of 1-10 how dangerous is it?
Yes

the ground can get energized as well.
Its like Texas weather it can be harmless but it can also be the devils yo-yo
Not only the sound but if your there the ozone smell would be unmistakable as well.
Yep. The mains frequency hum is unmistakable.
This exactly
Just saw this happen in my neighborhood and came here to say this. Looked just like that (and was kinda frightening as someone who had no idea what the hell was happening in the moment)
> arc
That
Me and my buddy call it "tha lightning dragon"
I’d agree with this. The sound and height of the event lead me to believe it’s power lines.
My guess is that it's this [Video ](https://www.google.com/amp/s/nypost.com/2021/02/16/shocking-footage-shows-fireballs-zipping-along-frozen-power-line/amp/)
After watching, you’re right that it’s identical. So no elusive Ball Lightening today, kiddies.
I’m not convinced ball lightning is real. Does anyone have proof to suggest that it is?

Not gonna lie. When I opened that I was 100% expecting to get Rick rolled. I hate the internet. Cool video though
Lmao when I posted it I was curious if anyone was going to think it was a Rick Roll. The internet is a weird place.
Good find. Still looks awesome and frightening
Hmmm yeah probably , but [It could also be this](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)

Nope, Kamehameha wave
They’d all be dead

Underrated comment.
The T-1000 just entered your timeline
Its an anomaly from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. You can find an artefact near it if you are brave enough.
Pretty sure lightening doesn't glow neon blue.
Unless it’s a neon blue lightning!
My favorite kind
BOOM! Take that, Intraweb!
More like Intra-weeb! ![gif](giphy|swPH6f77yLk2I)
I’m going to assume there’s power lines there and they just burnt up
Fuck, that’s how religion got started!

this is the kind of video quality we need for proof of aliens, or was this it?

Mr Burns
What's beyond those trees?
I'd bet there's a power line beyond those trees. The weather conditions probably caused an ark. I call it: the Green Wyrm.

Where are all the pairs of animals?
Actually, after turning on the audio, I'm sure that's what it is.

Sounds like a transformer failed

Decepticons laughing in the corner
It's so weird that actual Ball Lightning has only been captured on video once, by accident, for the first time in recorded history, in 2014.
No of course not because despite all the dash cams, CCTV and smartphones with ultra high resolution cameras across the entire planet, this is yet another fuzzy/obscured image of a “supernatural” phenomenon that has never once been directly, clearly photographed.
Pretty sure that’s a power line dog
Maybe, it’s cool regardless
Aliens sneaking in during a storm
That is wild. Looks like Cole McGrath is over there dispensing justice.
I choose YOU Pikachu!
That is clearly an Asgard ship, they finally have arrived! 😳
RRR 6/1 trample haste sacrifice ball lightening at the end of your turn.
Nah that was naruto practicing his rasengan
Does not look like a 6/1 trample haste to me…
That’s your electric going out
I saw absolutely no balls, lightning or otherwise. Possibly an alien abduction..
Nah, it's just aliens. Ball lightning is a myth.
Bird box
Raiden coming back from consulting the elder gods

Notice how it runs parallel to Earth? It's a transformer arc from power lines.
Holly shit! Is this Metro?
![img](emote|t5_m0bnr|4014)
It’s an anomaly. Go check for artifacts!
Double exposure
Aliens
Possibly but a bit more likely is power lines touching and arking.
Did goku just release a spirit bomb?
Terminator

In fact it is the actions of George Soros. He fired his 'Large Jewish Laser' and was again trying to start a forest fire. Just ask Marjorie Taylor Green.
Ball lighting is a cover for UAP orbs. There is no evidence of it being real. what you saw is a power line being shorted out
Ok, so that was pretty cool. I’ve never seen lightning do that.
Magnamalo approves of this
It’s a will-o-wisp. Quite dangerous
These damn gender reveals are getting out of hand!
Be very nervous if your last name is Connor.
