Fire ball during storm in Perm, Russia

[Keit]

Just stumbled upon the following video, dated March 22, 2016. In the video people speculate that it could be ball lightning. What do you think? Legit or fake?

Looks legit to me. Pretty cool! Although it was originally filmed as far back as 2011

Tricksy YT users, republish old news. ;) Is there a way to check if this video was published before, or you simply search with similar keywords?

Searching YT for "above Perm" (in Ru) brought the same video, but dated June 2015; searching for "ball lightning" (in Ru) brought the one of 2011. :)

It seems like this ball lightning is also traveling in time. :P Thank you, Possibility of Being, next time I'll do similar search before posting.

What is also useful is to make a snapshot of a relevant scene in the video and then make a image google search with that picture. Sometimes you then can also find similar videos/pictures from further back, with this method. Additionally you can then use the time frame option on that google picture search, to see when it was first posted and where. Doesn't always work though...

I tried it and it worked! Cool. Thank you for the advice, Pashalis.
