Getting back to this threads roots: this really seems borderline paranormal, like pseudo-life

This appears to be one of the only legitimate videos of ball lightning I can find on the internet.
Everything else is either:
• An electrical short traveling along wires (those huge electrical ball-looking things you see in some videos advertised as "ball lightning captured on camera")
• A blatant UFO-like hoax
• A reflection in a window
• Possibly an actual UFO, too hard to tell from a distance
But this is the single best bit of proof I've ever seen. Actually, it's probably the ONLY bit of proof I've ever seen. I've long been skeptical of ball lightning precisely because there's been absolutely no video of it happening that isn't of something else. So this humble and unassuming clip is actually groundbreaking in that regard that I can finally earnestly say "there is actually something there."
This also makes the video perfect for this thread, because ball lightning is absolutely one of those ultra-rare phenomena that straddle so extremely closely to the borderline of "paranormal" that, before this video, I'd even say it crossed over.
