I seem to remember hearing about ball lightning in the paper, it was near where my uncle lived in cornwall england so thats what drew my attention to it at first, i cant remember much about it tho
what i do remember is i think it was said to have gone down the chimney, the people in the house said that metal objects in the rooms around moved towards the room it happened in and the end result was it knocked out the front of the house. I remember a dramatic picture of the front of the house knocked down. I think it has something to do with a strong magnetic field tho this might all be babble, i havnt slept in a bit, ill have to ask around and do some research yeah its a wierd phenomana (sp?)
