They are being filmed in close proximity to thunderstorms and tornado’s fairly regularly. About 10 percent of the reports, I receive regard strange large moving lights in the sky or fast moving internally lit bright clouds. At night only the light and not the cloud may be observed.

The exact energy source of the naturally occurring plasmas is still unknown but are probably similar to standard lightning. Some plasmas are reported over high power lines and near strong electrical activity such as highways. They seem to be related to ball lightning, and under the right conditions with a mix of dust or ice particles they ca
