Assuming this account is true, can we explain it as being due to ball lightning?

For one thing these visitations didn’t coincide with any thunderstorm or attendant lightning strikes. But you don’t always need a thunderstorm to have ball lightning.

Ball lightning is a bit of a mystery as, although often but not always associated with thunderstorms, it may not even be lightning at all.

Nobody seems to know what this stuff is and it’s no surprise to find that it’s a bit of a paradox at least for physicists (Muir 2001, Sagan 2004).

For the last 200 years or so, ball lightning has baffled some of the most famous nuclear scientists including Robert Oppenheimer.

So what exactly is ball lightning?

Does it really exist or is it just an illusion (McAlpine)?

Whereas normal bolts of lightning (cloud to ground) carry over a billion or so volts and are some 3 to 5 miles long, ball lightning is less energetic and distinct in that it doesn’t play by the same rules.

Ball lightning is often spherical, defies gravity and it can travel at speeds of more than 300 mph even against prevailing winds.

It can hover over ground and can seep into a room through a keyhole or even come down the chimney.

It can just appear inside the fuselage of a jet plane and then exit by dancing along a wing. Some people even maintain that ball lightning has intelligence as it appears to be aware of its environment (Sagan).

Over 5% of Earth’s human population claim to have seen ball lightning and this atmospheric phenomenon has been subject to much attention - Grigoriev has studied some 10,000 cases.

In the literature, there are numerous accounts of the bizarre behavior of ball lightning.

In 1638, a ball of lightning is said to have entered a church in Widecombe-in-the-Moor (Devonshire, England).

Appearing during a ferocious thunderstorm and measuring some 8 feet in diameter, the brightly glowing ball came into the small church via the steeple and exploded. In the process it blew out all the windows and trashed all of the church pews.

Alarmingly, it also killed four people and injured a further 60. A budding spin-doctor, the vicar blamed this episode upon the fact that two members of the congregation had been playing cards during his sermon.
