Over the past three centuries or even longer, more than 200 accounts of ball lightning have been reported in various forms. Most descriptions depict these enigmatic phenomena as predominantly yellowish-reddish spheres, measuring up to 20 centimeters in diameter, with lifespans ranging from seconds to minutes before they either fade away quietly or vanish with an abrupt, thunderous exit.

From peasants in the Middle Ages to Tsar Nicholas II in the 19th century, sightings of ball lightning amid thunderstorms have consistently left people perplexed. Some have even claimed to witness these luminous orbs passing through solid walls and causing physical harm.
