Very impressive example of ball lightning. The rain and steam make it look like a fireball, and it seems the proximity was close enough to disrupt all the parked cars’ electrical systems. Fascinating stuff!

Is it how ball lightning behaves? I have never seen such at thing up close

I'd say this is a fake video. No other reports anywhere or such an event, voice over sounds fake.

ehh i was wishing it is true.... and cycle repeats Ball lightning - Wikipedia

it is actually one of the signs i am waiting for

 

[washable_orbit]

I wonder what the 4D aspect or relation to ball lighting would be.

Yeah, I live here and didn't hear anything about it.

Driving to work (65 miles), I'll typically see 1 piece of roadkill in a morning on that route. Today I saw something fresh about every mile. It was all manner of things; birds, dogs, cats, small and medium size wildlife. Noticed the pattern on the highways, a business district and in 2 residential areas. Never seen anything like this much roadkill all at once before. I'm not aware of any unusual weather or traffic conditions recently.

Yeah, me too i've been trying to gather more info about it and all could find it was posted by account which posts fakes from time to time
Certainly it looks too hollywood to be true

Bright meteor captured on May 3 from Amori, Japan. Several seconds later, the shock wave is heard.

Yep. I mistook two videos as being different angles on the same incident, so thought it was legit. Went looking for other examples, and it looks like nearly all of the 'ball lightning' videos on X are fakes.

Impressive hail accumulation in Villar del Arzobispo (Serranía) after heavy storms that left up to 37 liters in 20 minutes in several parts of Valencia, Spain

More images of the large layer of hail that covered the streets and left vehicles trapped in Villar del Arzobispo (Serranía), Valencia, Spain (May 8, 2025).

Interesting. There was a big hailstorm in Pachuca, Hidalgo (Mexico) yesterday.
Neighbours reported broken skylights, water pipes, windows, and dented cars.

Yes, I came across two or three such videos, always a ball lightning on a car park. In one video it goes dangerously close to the guy with the camera (who doesn't move) and then morphs into an alien orb (don't think so), and in another it makes a bush grow into a tree (nope!). They look very nice, but they are obviously fake.

Yesterday, a 4.3 magnitude earthquake was reported in Monterrey, Mexico. It's a bit confusing as you can see in some of the videos, the quake is short-lived, and you can hear an explosion? This made me think it resembled an overhead explosion (meteor).

Some people reported a meteor fireball just before the earthquake (still searching for info about this), so I'm not sure if it was the same event, or separate ones.

So, any ideas what this might be? It Happened at south of Hail, Saudi Arabia.

Debris of something? Although, it looks as it exploded in a different manner as those with friction in the atmosphere (debris were observed on Saudi Arabia in March of this year), some kind of rocket with today's special effects? Would not have been seen elsewhere?

A strange phenomenon in the sky of Al-Alam Mountains south of #Hail, it was also seen from western Qassim, what is its explanation ️

Someone asked Grok:

Hello, this is probably about a SpaceX rocket launch that took place on May 13, 2025. There were two launches that day: one from California and one from Florida, for Starlink satellites. Saudi Arabia's dark skies may have made the rocket tracks visible. However, since they were observed in the evening, they could be satellite tracks or orbital debris, not direct launches. Meteor or aurora is unlikely because the location and timing are not favorable. More eyewitness information is needed for a definitive conclusion.

Of the aurora, because a meteor, does not apply, sometimes Grok is very funny. Doesn't look like a meteor to me, though.
According to Brave AI:

SpaceX Launch on May 13, 2025​

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched a batch of Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit (LEO) from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Base, Florida, on May 13, 2025, at 11 p.m. ET (0336 GMT, May 14).5

Additionally, earlier in the day, at 9 p.m. ET (0115 GMT, May 13), another SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched a batch of Starlink satellites from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California

SURPRISE GEOMAGNETIC STORM: This was not in the forecast. An unexpected G2-class geomagnetic storm occured during the early hours of May 17th following a glancing blow from a CME. The CME was launched on May 12th by an erupting magnetic filament in the sun's northern hemisphere. (It was a magnificent eruption.) The CME was expected to miss Earth, but it delivered a glancing blow instead. CME impact alerts: SMS Text
Auroras were sighted in the USA as far south as Nebraska. In the town of Scottsbluff, Troy Bryan saw the auroras and something more. "A very bright white streak appeared at about 11:39pm local time."​

"It lasted for about 5 minutes," he says.

We have received similar reports of bright white streaks and "massive light pillars" from Idaho and New Mexico. This was not an aurora. We suspect it was related to a rocket launch, but we haven't yet matched the streak to a specific launch. If any readers know what this was, let us know.​

According to Ben Davison it might be some sort of steve anomaly, an steve a 100n times more powerful, not a rocket launch.

And yes, it looks like an steve.

What is STEVE, and how is it different from the aurora?​

Only formally discovered in 2016, STEVE is a mysterious atmospheric phenomenon that is linked to yet distinct from the aurora. Here's where to look for it in the night sky.
STEVE — Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement — is an aurora-like glow that often accompanies the northern lights, yet is a distinct phenomenon, according to the American Geophysical Union (AGU). STEVE was discovered between 2015 and 2016, not by professional astronomers or physicists, but by citizen scientists in Canada chasing the aurora, according to the first study published on STEVE in Science Advances in 2018.
