Best Ball Lightning Footage Captured in Alberta!

Historic for the most mysterious wx curio! Lasts so long and the extreme brightness it gives off to the ground below it, wow!! I was befuddled as to why there were no good ball lightning videos in existence even with all the phones, security cams, ring doorbells, etc.

That looks like a plasma charge along a powerline.

Yeah a comment I saw suspects its "an arcing power line. Play 0:27 onwards at 0.25 speed and watch properly. Also notice how the lens reflection floating around to the right shows a less exposed version of it as two dots, which are the two power lines."

Wouldn't that be a gas, vid has 1.2 million views
