Thursday evening, July 16, 2015 some ominous clouds formed over the Sioux Falls area and produced some pretty spectacular lightning. My friend, Nelson Zephier, was filming the clouds and lightning on his phone and all of the sudden you see something round, like a softball, shoot from the sky. At first I thought the aliens were attacking, but then realized it was ball lightning.

I showed Patty Dee this video and she said several years ago around Christmastime there was thunder snow. She and her family were sitting around the living room and they heard a big clap of thunder.  All of the sudden a big ball of lightning came into the house, hit the couch and rolled down the hallway and it was gone.  It never burned anything and there was no sign of it entering. They don't know how it got in the house.

At :37 in this video you'll see the coolest ball lightning. I've never seen anything like this. Thanks for capturing it, Nelson!
