During a recent lightning storm, a couple from Canada caught a rare weather
mystery on camera.
Right from their porch, Ed and Melinda Pardy watched as a lightning bolt
struck the land less than a kilometer from their home.

在最近的一场 雷雨中，一对来自加拿大的夫妇用相机捕捉了罕见的天气神秘现象。
艾德和梅琳达·帕迪就在自家门廊上看到一道闪电击中了距离他们家不到一公里的地方。
In the bolt's wake, a brilliant ball of blue light was left hovering above
the ground.
The couple managed to capture a 23-second video of the strange apparition.
"It looks like a firebolt, but not really, it's the wrong color," Melinda
Pardy can be heard saying in the background of the footage, which was
provided to several Canadian broadcasters.
闪电过后，留下一个耀眼的蓝色光球悬停在地面上方。
这对夫妇成功拍摄了这一奇怪幽灵的 23 秒影片。
在提供给几家加拿大广播公司的录影片段背景中，可以听到梅琳达·帕迪说：“它看起来
像是火箭弹，但实际上不是，颜色不对。”

According to an interview with Canada's CTV News, the bizarre globe of bright
light was about one to two meters in diameter, and it hovered above the
ground for about a minute before it went out with a 'pop'.
Ed Pardy thinks it may have been a rare glimpse of ball lightning, a
hypothetical weather phenomenon defined by thousands of eyewitness accounts
collected over the centuries. Some have even reported fiery orbs flying
through their windows.
根据加拿大CTV新闻采访，这个奇怪的亮光球直径约一至两公尺，在地面上方盘旋了大约
一分钟，然后“砰”的一声熄灭了。
艾德·帕迪认为，这可能是罕见的球状闪电。球状闪电是一种假想的天气现象，由数百年
来收集的数千份目击证词定义。有些人甚至报告说，有火球从他们的窗户飞了进来。
Despite all the anecdotes, there's no real scientific explanation for the
claimed events. The size of the observed light sphere, its color, and
behavior can vary quite a lot, so it's hard to confirm if all the stories are
due to the same physics.
尽管坊间流传着各种奇闻轶事，但这些所谓的事件并没有真正的科学解释。观测到的光球
大小、颜色和行为可能千差万别，因此很难确认所有故事是否都源自于同一物理原理。

In recent decades, scientists have tried to generate models of plasma balls
in the lab, to understand how orbs of light could move around and last for so
long. But because of their random and rare nature, real-world examples are
much harder to study.

近几十年来，科学家一直尝试在实验室中建立等离子球模型，以探讨光球如何移动并持续
如此之久。但由于其随机性和稀有性，现实世界的例子很难研究。

In 2014, scientists in China got lucky. They filmed what they argue is the
first video of ball lightning, capturing the incident by accident. Upon
further analysis, they found evidence that ball lightning is composed of tiny
bits of soil, which could be vaporized by lightning and set a-glow.
Their observations and measurements were published in a peer-reviewed paper,
but some scientists disagree on the physics. Instead, they suspect ball
lightning is the result of light, trapped within a sphere of highly
compressed air.
No scientist has yet confirmed the short video from Alberta is footage of
ball lightning, but the Pardy couple says they have been approached by
researchers.
2014年，中国的科学家们幸运地拍摄到了他们自称的第一段球状闪电视频，而这恰恰是他
们偶然捕捉到的。经过进一步分析，他们发现球状闪电是由微小的土壤颗粒构成的证据，
这些土壤颗粒可以被闪电蒸发并发光。
他们的观察和测量结果发表在一篇同行评审的论文中，但一些科学家对其物理原理持有不
同意见。他们怀疑球状闪电是由光被困在高度压缩的空气球体中产生的。
目前还没有科学家证实这段来自艾伯塔省的短片是球状闪电的镜头，但帕迪夫妇表示，研
究人员已经与他们联系。
"If it is ball lightning," veteran storm chaser George Kourounis told CTV
News, "then this is one of the best ball lightning videos I've ever seen."
But there are plenty of online skeptics.
Some have suggested the curious ball of electricity could be the result of a
power flash on a high voltage line, which can't be seen in the video,
although the Pardy's say there are no powerlines close by.
资深风暴追逐者乔治·克隆尼斯 (George Kourounis)告诉CTV 新闻：“如果它是球状闪
电，那么这是我见过的最精彩的球状闪电视频之一。”
但网络上也有很多人对此表示怀疑。
有些人认为，这个奇怪的电球可能是高压线上的电闪造成的，但在影片中看不到，尽管帕
迪夫妇说附近没有电线。
Frank Florian, senior manager of planetarium and space sciences at the TELUS
World of Science, told Global News that whatever the couple saw, it was a
very strange weather phenomenon.
"It could be ball lightning or it could be something that's more of an
artifact of a lightning strike itself," he said.
This may be one of those mysteries we never get an answer to.
TELUS 科学世界天文馆和太空科学高级经理 Frank Florian告诉《环球新闻》，无论这对
夫妇看到了什么，这都是一种非常奇怪的天气现象。
他说：“它可能是球状闪电，也可能是雷击本身产生的某种现象。”
这可能是我们永远无法解答的谜团之一。
