Initial data
The most impressionable effect of ball lightning is described in the Yekaterinburg newspaper for July 16 , 1895 .:
"In the village of Nikolsky, 15 versts from the town of Kamyshlov, lightning struck a house, knocked out all the frames, scorched the walls, distorted the stoves, half melted a silver robe in the image, turned the sleeping man several times in the air and then threw him under the bench, causing a minor injury (a chicken sitting on eggs was thrown from the opposite corner, etc.).
An eyewitness to the appearance of lightning (it was on the night of June 22-23) reports that at the beginning a fireball appeared in the room, quietly descended from the ceiling to the bottom, where it immediately exploded throughout the room."

Here are selectively some of them:
