Editing Ball lightning (section)

=== HMS ''Warren Hastings'' ===
An English journal reported that during an 1809 storm, three "balls of fire" appeared and "attacked" the British ship ''[[HMS Warren Hastings]]''. The crew watched one ball descend, killing a man on deck and setting the main mast on fire. A crewman went out to retrieve the fallen body and was struck by a second ball, which knocked him back and left him with mild burns. A third man was killed by contact with the third ball. Crew members reported a persistent, sickening sulphur smell afterward.<ref>{{cite news| url= https://www.thetimes.com/travel/advice/weather-eye-charles-darwin-the-meteorologist-h7lwjqqjpvs |work= [[The Times]] | location= London | title= Weather Eye: Charles Darwin, the meteorologist | date= 17 February 2009 | access-date= 2020-07-06 | first= Paul | last= Simons | url-access=subscription}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.thenational.ae/article/20090223/FRONTIERS/646186738/1036 |title=Aliens?
