Nerf Surfs Night Sky in Mount Barker SA

UFOSA received a report of a "nerf ball sized" orb of light travelling parallel (horizontal) to ground level in a suburb of Mount Barker South Australia at about 5:30 a.m. on Monday 5 November 2012. This happened in a period of extreme electrical storm activity in South Australia with about 170,000 lightning strikes recorded by the nation-wide system of 9 automatic monitoring stations. We could easily admit this as possible St. Elmo's Fire or Ball Lightning except for the fact that the object seemed to travel for more than a few metres and did not dissipate. Power lines are in the area where the "nerf ball" light was sighted.
