I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve reblogged that damn “ball lighting” video to explain that it’s not ball lightning or any of the other crazy crap people believe in. It’s literally just an electrical arcing fault on a power line, and the original video can be found on Youtube with a source, who shot it, where, when, and a description of what it actually is. The post keeps popping up on my dash and it annoys me every time. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because of how easy it is to check it, and how it’s one of many examples of the way people on Tumblr (probably in general, but it’s so easy to spread crap on here with the reblog button) tend not to check things. But I guess we all take some things at face value. I almost thought it was ball lightning at first, but I checked because that’s a pretty fantastic claim and a supposed piece of evidence I’ve never heard. So I don’t know…
