You're right, Betty isn't always wrong.

Within the last +3 years…..the similarities in shape to these particular objects is striking…imo.
What is a plasma ball?
The plasma ball can be described as an electrified globe. When turned on, streaks of light bounce around the globe. When the globe is touched, the streaks center on the spot where it is being handled. The plasma ball consists of a transformer that is fixed at some voltage and the transformer is encapsulated by a globe which grounds the plasma ball. The colored lights are a result of several types of gases that are inside the globe. The type of gas used will determine the type of colored streaks that are formed when you turn the transformer on. The most common gases used in plasma balls are noble gases such as argon, neon and xenon but other gases can also be used and each gas gives off a different color as indicated below.
Helium, Krypton: white
Neon: pinkish red
Carbon dioxide: white or blue
Nitrogen: grayish pink or light orange
Argon: violet
Xenon: bluish white
What happens when you touch a plasma ball?
The transformer produces electrons. Remember that similar charges repel each other and opposite charges are attracted to each other. So inside the globe there are a lot of similar charges that want to get as far away from each other as possible. When you touch the globe, the high concentration of electrons inside the globe now have access to the earth and can thus reduce their concentration by passing through you and releasing their charge into the earth. The amount of charge in the plasma ball is relatively small so there is no risk of you getting hurt. The reason why the electrons are attracted to the earth is that the concentration of electrons in the earth is very, very low and the earth is so vast that it can easily accept the charged particles.

Not sure I understand……
The whole object is illuminated…..why wouldn’t all of the illumination reflect in the water?

Another suspicious thing about those images, it's almost as if someone is using the original images to create fake videos.
