	Ball Lightning - Crystalinks
		The discharges can appear during thunderstorms, sometimes issuing from a lightning flash, but large numbers of encounters occur during good weather with no storms within hundreds of miles.
		One of the earliest recorded, and most destructive, occurrences is thought to have taken place during The Great Thunderstorm at Widecombe-in-the-Moor, Devon, in the United Kingdom, on October 21, 1638.
		Ball Lightning is described as a floating, illuminated ball that occurs during thunderstorms.
