Datos iniciales
Un correo electrónico de un hombre de Clifton, Virginia, informó que su esposa fue testigo de algo extraño a altas horas de la noche durante una tormenta que azotó nuestro terreno el día anterior (Clifton está a unas 12 millas al oeste de Springfield, que vio varias esferas brillantes durante una tormenta eléctrica).
"Anoche tuvimos un corte de electricidad y mi esposa se despertó cuando el Contestador automático se encendió y se apagó cuando la electricidad intentó recuperarse y luego se apagó por completo.
Se acercó a la puerta principal para ver si estaba lloviendo o haciendo viento y vio un objeto muy grande flotando sobre la casa vecina a aproximadamente 1/8 de milla de nuestra casa. Era más grande que la casa, parecía estar en ángulo con su vista de fondo abierto e iluminaba todo de manera uniforme
Cuando comenzó a retirarse, se vieron varios destellos de rayos y luego desapareció. La electricidad regresó en dos horas".
Al día siguiente, se recibió un segundo correo electrónico que decía que había tenido la oportunidad de hablar con su esposa sobre esta observación, y agregó que parecía que su esposa realmente podía ver las "bolas de rayos".
También escribió:
"lo que ella describe suena como una imagen con muchos rayos de bola que dice que se desvaneció mientras lo observaba, y luego el rayo se disparó en el espacio sobre la casa desde el Suelo hasta donde parecían estar las luces".

The luminous spheres during the storm were described as a "very large object hovering over a nearby house about an 1/8 of a mile from our house. It was larger than the house, seemed to be at an angle to her view with the bottom exposed and had lights all around it evenly spaced."

Full Description and Details
Received an email from a Clifton, Virginia man, reporting that his wife witnessed something strange late in the night, during a storm that hit our area the previous day (Clifton is approximately 12 miles west of Springfield, in which Multiple luminous spheres during thunderstorm I reside). Email sighting account in part: "We had a power outage last night and my wife was awakened by the answering machine clicking on and off as the power tried to recover, and then it went out completely. She went to the front door to see if it was raining or windy and saw a very large object hovering over a nearby house about an 1/8 of a mile from our house. It was larger than the house, seemed to be at an angle to her view with the bottom exposed and had lights all around it evenly spaced. When it began to move away, several lightning flashes were seen and then it was gone. The power returned two hours later."
A second email was received the next day stating that he had a chance to talk to his wife about this sighting and he added that it would seem that his wife might have actually observed "balls of lightning". He also wrote: "what she describes sounds just like a multiple ball lightning display which she says disappeared as she watched it, and then a bolt of lightning went up into the space above the house from the ground to where the lights had appeared to be."
A little more details were obtained during a telephone interview that was conducted March 31st. Sighting took place around 12:30 a.m., March 23, during a thunderstorm, as she was facing south, towards Manassas. The length of the appearance lasted just a few seconds, from the "balls of light" formation to the vertical lightning flash.
It is my belief that this incident may have been a natural, Rare Atmospheric Phenomena (RAP) involving multiple ball lightning, or Mobile Luminous Spheres. To be a witness of one or two of these lightning balls are rare but witnessing a group of ten or more is phenomenal! According to Dominion Virginia Power website, their electrical outage legend summary dated 3/23/2005, indicated that there were about 24 homes that were affected by this storm in the Northern Virginia's Fairfax County area.
March 23rd temperature: 44 degrees, cloudy with rain, average humidity 81, wind 13 mph NE.
