Ball lightening huh! That sounds exactly like it. The size of this ball was hm? around the size of a volleyball, I'd say. Had to think a minute, but no there wasn't any rain/storms that night. And its been a while, but I'd say it lasted maybe 10 seconds

Unexplained atmospheric electrical phenomenon - Very cool indeed.

Thanks for the link, I will read on this more.

There are a lot of articles about it on the internet. Here's a very interesting one - Ball Lightning Caught On Camera By Scientists For The First Time (VIDEO)

A legend from England could be connected with ball lightning - Black Shuck

A weather vane in Bungay Market in Suffolk depicts a black dog and a flash of lighting, it commemorates an event on Sunday the 4th of August 1577. Between nine and ten in the morning while the parishioners of Bungay were at church, a fearful and violent storm broke out, which caused the sky to darken and the church to quake. Suddenly, in the midst of the storm, a black dog appeared within church. Lit by flashes of fire, it ran about the body of the church causing great fear and panic. It passed between two people kneeling at prayer, killing them instantly, and caused another man to shrivel up, severely burned, although he is said to have survived.

About seven miles away in Blythburgh, at around the same time, another black dog (or the same phenomena) appeared in the parish church preceded by the same thunderstorm. This black dog struck three people dead and left scorch marks on the North church door, which can still be seen today.

These two examples suggest phenomena related to the weather conditions, perhaps some form of little understood ball lighting, substantiated by the fact that one person was burned, and the scorch marks on the church door. It is difficult to make any snap judgements because of the long span of time involved from the recorded events.
