More ball lightning

I was in the rather smelly hold of a C130 on approach to Deci (Sardinia) which was struck. There was a tremendous bang and a ball of lightning appeared and headed off to the ramp at the rear, where it disappeared.

The lower VHF blade antenna had been blown completely off, with other damage elsewhere on the outer skin.
