I saw the same slow moving ball of blue light when a tree branch fell
across all the legs of a high voltage, three phase system. After sparking
for several minutes, the entire power line exploded into a spherical blue
light, which raced slowly down the wires until it reached a grounded pole.
The odd thing was that the explosion severed a wire, but the blue light
followed the path where the wires were just before the explosion. It was as
though a magnetic field temporarily owned its own space irrespective of the
conductor that caused it.
