https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/video-of-a-globular-bolt-real/
A video supposedly showing a rare, natural phenomenon known as a gobular bolt, or ball lightning, went viral in January 2020 with a posting on the Facebook page Cambio Digital that quickly racked up more than 4 million views:
This video was frequently circulated with the caption: This is a globular bolt, better known as scintillation. They are tremendously rare and peculiar.
This video, however, does not show a globular bolt, a scintillation, ball lightning, or sphere lightning. The video actually features a computer generated image.
The video was created by Andrei Trukhonovets. It was posted to his YouTube page back in May 2019, along with a note stating that the footage featured CGI. Trukhonovets also responded to a number of comments and bemoaned the fact that this video was circulating as if it showed a genuine ball of lightning:
