Ball Lightning and Bead Lightning

Focusing on the unique atmospheric phenomena of ball lightning and bead lightning, this monograph explores their distinct visual characteristics and properties. Unlike traditional lightning, these forms present as luminous shapes, with bead lightning resembling a string of pearls and ball lightning appearing as a solitary globe. Both types are visible for approximately one second, significantly longer than typical lightning flashes. The author aims to enhance understanding of these unusual phenomena, which may not conform to conventional definitions of lightning.
