The author (physicist)has observed the very strange,beautiful and frighteningLightning Ball (LB). He has never forgotten this phenomenon. During his workinglife he could not devote himself to the problem of LB-formation.Only two yearsago as he has been reading different unbelievable models of LB-formation, hedecided to work on this problem. By studying the literature and the crucialpoints of his observation the author succeeded in creating a completely newmodel of Lightning Ball(LB) and Ball Lightning(BL)-formation based on thesymmetry breaking of the hydrodynamic vortex ring.This agrees fully with theobservation and overcomes the shortcomings of current models of LB formation.This model provides answers to the questions: Why are LBs so rarelyobserved,why do BLs in rare cases have such a high energy and how can wegenerate LB in the laboratory? Moreover the author differentiates between LBand BL, the latter having a high energy and occuring in 5 % of theobservations. Keywords: ball lightning, hydrodynamic vortex ring, symmetrybreaking, electroluminescence, triboelectrification.
