AD 1666 (Aug) A strange fiery ball of light is observed in a clear, sunny sky over Robozero, Russia, by villagers coming out of church.

Sounds like my first encounter with ball lightning.

***Sounds like my first encounter with ball lightning.***

Friends of mine in New Mexico said lightning would often strike a hill behind their house, ball up and roll down the hill by them.

When crossing the Mississippi river during a terrible thunder and lightning storm my wife saw chain lightning for the first time.
