A strong storm was swept through the center of Alberta on Wednesday night. While no injuries were reported, one of the spouses near Rich Valley acquired something strange on the video – the glowing blue heavenly body hovering a few hundred meters away from their home.
Ed and Melinda Bardi went up to their back balcony at approximately 7 pm to see the storm, which brought extreme lightning and even Tornado warnings. Then, after a particularly strong thunderbolt blow, notice something strange.
Ed recalls, “After somewhat evil thunderbolt, we saw a ball from the fire … about 20 feet above the ground,” Ed recalls. “He remained somewhat in a large round ball.”
Melinda quickly grabbed her phone to record it. The shots show a bright bluish ball in the air before they fade after seconds.
You are like, what is this? “It was not even the color of the fire.” “It was bluish in color.” Ed described it as a “bright body of blue light”, approximately three to six feet, moving slowly before it disappears with a small pop.

Global news subscriber The video clip with Frank Florian, space science expert in the world of science in Edmonton. It was called “incredible video” for something “very strange associated with harsh weather conditions. Best his guess? Lightning ball – a rare phenomenon and badly understood.
Florian explained that lightning is basically an explosion of plasma – kidnapped gas – which passes through the sky. Usually, it flashes and disappears in a moment. But sometimes, under the appropriate conditions, the plasma is still plasma.
“The lightning itself is a plasma,” he said. “You have an electric path that passes through the sky from the cloud to the ground … it quickly heats the air, creates a plasma.” When this plasma sticks in a spherical form, the lightning scientists call it the ball.
These glowing heavenly bodies are rare and unpredictable. Some reports describe that they float through open windows or even a liar along the ground before they disappear.
Scientists still do not fully understand lightning. Since he is very rare, researchers struggle for his studies – although some have tried to re -establish it in laboratories.
