Voor het eerst dat ik een bolbliksem op bewegend beeld zie. Het is vrijwel gelijk aan wat ik zag in juli 1995 (samen met mijn moeder) toen een bolbliksem in een huis in onze straat insloeg.
Mijn vader (HenkL) schreef in maart 1996 daarover in een nieuwsgroep:
,,In July last year there was a ball lightning just some 50 meters of my
home. I didn't see it myself, but both my wife and son did. They
didn't see a 'normal' lightning preceding the ball. The ball was just
above the houses and disappeared within a few seconds with a loud BANG
(sound of an explosion), I heard the sound myself, and (my wife and
son told me) the ball was red coloured and had a diameter of a
football. The ball didn't move, it just exploded and disappeaerd. The
ball lightning caused some damage on TV-equipment and fuses in the
houses nearby. The ball was seen by a lot off other people as well, as
stated in the newspaper the next day.
At the moment there was a small (unexpected) thunderstorm moving
across the city. There were only a few vertical lightnings before and
afterwards. There was no rain at the moment of the lightning.''
