She keeps telling me my Windows license has expired, that the IRS is on the way to arrest me, and that my business needs to be verified by Google.

Original video without creepy text-to-voice narration:
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:
