Numerous ideas of the origine are never proven.
However, Quantum FFF Theory says: glowing obs or ball Lightning are nuclei or Particle Knots of micro Dark Matter, or merged Einstein Boson particle combinations (below) .or Creo-meteors. covered with an ice shell. if flying in freezing air, by a froozen plasma tail material.

Below: Conclusion, Ball Lightning nuclei have weight and small mass., able to fall to earth.

Also at: High altitudes : see image below, of merging Lightning strike channels.
Below: the new physics splitting and pairing of equal sized Ball Lightnings or MICRO BLACK HOLES. into a dual Herbig Haro system , which are able to vacuum cleaning the space into a central plasma /duast point creating stars or even galaxies.
