My father told me that while watching a thunderstorm pass over our home once .. A bright flash of a lightning strike caught his attention .. by the time he had looked that way it was long gone .. but on the lampost it had presumably hit was a ball off crackling light which proceeded to wobble down the pole and roll its way down the gutter before dissappearing with a bang .. To this day he has no idea what this was or can even try to offer an explanation ?
