Abstract. In a primary documentary source we found an early record of ball lightning (BL), which was observed in the monastery of Pi (Oliva, southeastern Spain) on 18 October 1619. The ball lightning was observed by at least three people and was described as a “rolling burning vessel” and a “ball of fire”. The ball lightning appeared following a lightning flash, showed a mainly horizontal motion, crossed a wall, smudged an image of the Lady of Rebollet (then known as Lady of Pi) and burnt her ruff, and overturned a cross.

球击的早期记录：奥利瓦（西班牙），1919年

摘要。在一个主要的文献资料中，我们发现了球形闪电（BL）的早期记录，这是1619年10月18日在Pi修道院（西班牙东南部奥利瓦）中观察到的。至少三个人观察到球形闪电，并被描述为一个“滚动的燃烧船”和一个“火球”。球状闪电在闪电后出现，呈水平运动，越过墙壁，弄脏了雷波莱特夫人（当时称为Pi夫人）的图像，烧毁了衣领，并翻转了十字架。
