When I was on a plane 15years ago I saw a giant ball of fire (or light) floating within 25-50m of me. Just outside my window. It stayed mostly stationary for several seconds while I stared at it. To this day I don't have a clue what I saw; a will-o-wisp; ball lighting; a ufo; maybe an asteroid and I'm delusional about the amount of time it hung I'm the sky next to me. I tried to wake my sister up to show her but it disappeared as I did, decending. Idk if she ever believes me when I tell her about it every year. I really wished I asked the flight attendant if I could speak to the pilots about what I saw. Still bothers me to this day. I've been on the lookout ever since, hoping to the phenomenon again
If i remember right, ball lightning was confirmed to be real after it appeared on a plane that was full of physicists going to a conference. I think they reported it moving slowly in relation to them.
Maybe it was ball lighting
