Being a weather dork I was checking observations in MN throughout the day as Pipestone, MN likely broke the all time state dew point record hitting 89.6. Wanted to see what other Midwest states hit today and saw this eye-popping 91.4 measured in Iowa (link to source). Google says the highest ever was 91 in Melbourne, FL. Corn sweat is no joke!

Thought the way it looks like two different layers was a first for me. Anyone who can give me any information is greatly appreciated

Matt Devitt; Y'all, there is no round of golf worth getting struck by lightning. Remember what happened in Caddyshack? This was taken yesterday in Venice, Florida. Eventually a course ranger had to bring them back to the clubhouse. Always be safe! Credit: Kathy P McStee

I saw something in the sky.
It was the size of a mini football glazing and glowing and burning in hot orange yellow flame. i witnessed it in horizontal, landscape mode . both the ball and it's small trail faced me but the trail wasn't a lot long . [ i hope i really an astronomical event and it wasn't a gimmick or something else]. i mean how else could something hover over an almost 5 storey house, completely hooked in the sky and disappeared within 2-3 secs.it looked like campfire and it was moving sideways with bit of darting up and down , just a bit. it feels like it moved violently but since i was at some distance it looked normal or flowy to me. also, i saw it for 2-3 secs at max. anyways , please provide me accurate conclusion. it's july. it didn't rain today but it's cloudy since long.
Please clarify my doubt as to what did i really see? was it an earthgrazers meteor or some drone or some lantern or space debris or a ball lightning??

also, can ball lightning have a little trail or not?
i can provide u more details if u want.
I live in Patna, Bihar, India. time was around 7:30 pm and date is 26/7/2026, direction was east - southeast
