There's no widely accepted explanation for ball lightning as a phenomenon: It might be vaporized silicon from soil struck by lightning! The strike could break silica (SiO₂) into pure silicon vapor. As it cools, the silicon forms a glowing, charged aerosol as it reacts with O₂.

@GMNeiksans The plane's center of gravity needs to stay within a specific range for stability, even when on the ground. As passengers deplane, especially from the front, the weight distribution can shift backward if the rear is still full, potentially causing the tail to tilt downward!
