Ball lightning is totally fascinating.  It can range all the way from tiny to godawful gigantic. 

There was a big one in Nebraska a couple years ago that pretty much disintegrated a stretch of barbed wire fence.  In the Bob Ross / Margaret MacKichan Sandhills-based collection of stories, “In the Kingdom of Grass,” Ross describes a miniature ball that floated around a bunkhouse before finding its way into a radio.
