I like the "hallucination" theory (called "Transcranial magnetic stimulation" in wiki article):

>Magnetically Induced Hallucinations Explain Ball Lightning, Say Physicists

>Powerful magnetic fields can induce hallucinations in the lab, so why not in the real world, too?

Doesn’t explain occurrences with multiple witnesses though?
Yeah, it doesn't explain all observations (when there is objective physical damage too). Just an original one, which I wouldn't come up with on my own when first reading about ball lightnings in 90s.
