Following his observation the author has described in the papers 
[1] to [4] the formation of a Lightning Ball (LB) with the 
help of a new theory of symmetry breaking of the vortex ring. In 
the frame of this theory he emphasizes the primordial rule of the 
thunder (shock-wave) during the liglitning strike in the creation of 
the LB. The shock-waves and the sound waves also propagate very 
fast but the subsequent enlargement of the vortex ring (air masses) 
is very slow. This is the reason why the rotating air ring (cylinder) 
only appeared some seconds later in the observation because of the 
great inertia of the system. As a consequence of the stationary 
Mach shock-waves reflections theory the stable distance of the LB 
to the ground and its very stable horizontal path, in spite of strong 
winds and rain, can be explained.
