A Kugelblitz (German: ball of lightning) is something that we predict could exist based on our understanding of physics. We have not currently observed any.
The mechanism of a Kugelblitz is exactly the same as a black hole, where matter becomes so dense that gravity becomes so strong that nothing can escape, even light. But with a Kugelblitz it is Energy, radiation or heat, instead of matter.
