The question is if ball lightning is such a mystery then how do you know the lightning generated in the lab or in a microwave is different to that created by nature?

Of course the mechanisms for generating it might be totally different though.

So as of right now ball lightning is considered an anomalic phenomenon? Maybe if ball lightning is figured out, we may have some new light on some different energy sources...
