I'd love to see something like that, it would be fascinating. Having heard about ball lightning, marsh gas or whatever it may be, to witness one first hand would be a thrill. Its odd that our first reaction is one of fear, a throw back from our ancient selves running rather than reasoning I suppose but when you've got over the initial shock you would have to think that you are absolutely privileged to have witnessed such a rare event.Gary Bills wrote:My brother likes to go for crafty rural canal carp, and walking back one night he saw a fiery, glowing ball - orange in colour, rise before him on the tow path and drift over the canal, where it vanished. He thinks "marsh gas" although the experience shook up up a little....
He said it was easily the size of a football...
