Who would be dumb enough to be flying a hot air balloon with combustible gas inside of a lightning storm?

Could be a hot air balloon by the speed at which it is moving left to right and maintaining altitude. The pilot could be burning the candle.

Haha, maybe I'm missing something, but do they not heat the air by burning gas? There has to be something burning to make the balloon rise.
Hold on, I'm googling this now.

It appears as if the hot air baloon is fuelled by liquid propane.

Great vid. I can't offer up an explanation to what it is, but I can eliminate an aircraft........unless they live near an airport, he was running out of fuel and had to land and had no other alternative airport to divert to?
Just a thought.

Not my title or video.
This is an awesome video IMO.
I am not too sure were they got the 'spinning' part from, or maybe I just missed it.
It appears to also be moving quite slow, so to me, a meteorite or asteroid would be ruled out. I also do not see any blinking lights so I do not think it could be a plane.
It could be ball lightning though, I don't know very much about it, but I didn't think it could be that big, although, something tells me we don't know everything about ball lightning...
Anyway, I thought I would bring it here to see what others opinions are on the video and see if anyone can tell what it could be.
I also looked around and didn't find the video on here yet, so if it is on here, my apologies.
Any thoughts?
