Correction. Haven't heard reports of ball lightning from yesterday.
But that springs to mind something I'd long since forgotten about...
Way back in 1990, unsure of the date - but I do remember it was the evening
that the world cup kicked off (Italia '90) with Argentina V's Cameroon.
During the game our TV screen flickered for a few seconds and then several
seconds later there was some thunder....
....... Next day in the newspapers there was a reported incident of ball
lightning in the nearby town of Belshill, with several eye witness accounts.
I believe the "ball" was seen to travel down a street hitting a few cars on
route. The rest of the story has gone from my memory - I was only 16 at the
time.
I wonder if anyone has more info on this event?
Alex.
