Editing Ball lightning (section)

===R. C. Jennison===
Jennison, of the Electronics Laboratory at the [[University of Kent]], described his own observation of ball lightning in an article published in ''[[Nature (journal)|Nature]]'' in 1969:

<blockquote>I was seated near the front of the passenger cabin of an all-metal airliner (Eastern Airlines Flight EA 539) on a late night flight from New York to Washington. The aircraft encountered an electrical storm during which it was enveloped in a sudden bright and loud electrical discharge (0005 h EST, March 19, 1963). Some seconds after this a glowing sphere a little more than {{convert|20|cm|in|0|abbr=in|disp=sqbr}} in diameter emerged from the pilot's cabin and passed down the aisle of the aircraft approximately {{convert|50|cm|in|abbr=in|disp=sqbr}} from me, maintaining the same height and course for the whole distance over which it could be observed.<ref>{{cite journal |last= Jennison |first= R.
