There is no difference, for a theory without proofs, without any possibility of reproducible experiments allowing to prove, except a work with more blackened paper !!
A theory which forgets the source of energy of the lightning ball, to maintain it sometimes 30 seconds, is identical to the theory of Vialle and others !!!!
There is no explanation, and in my opinion, this is a phenomenon that reveals a whole unknown area of physics to discover, like a particle of dark matter without interaction with our matter, except in enormous electric voltages and currents, with the great rarity of this particle, which makes experiments impossible, to reproduce !!!!
This particle, ultra rare, then revealed, ionizes the air or the matter around, in a ball plasma of the radius of the free path of the ionizing radiation emitted which reveals it, plasma which moves like the particle, which interacts very little with our matter , a few tens of seconds, before disappearing, passing through our walls of walls and planes, experimental fact observed a large number of times.
I am only describing the testimonies, putting a guideline.
The other theories, based on what we know, derail, especially on the necessary energy, provided by this particle (dark matter?) Without interaction with us, (like neutrinos, but different) which then gives its energy incomprehensible origin, otherwise.
This is a hypothesis seeking to be consistent with all the observed facts of ball lightning, in total contradiction with what is known and understood, plasma of incomprehensible energy, aberrant movements, and extreme rarity, therefore impossible to study in experiences.

Yet they do not promise the Moon! And there is no complete theory, yet. No broken promise! Just the description of the observation of the birth of the process:
the birth of the process with well-known physics, should be easily reproducible, observed as at CERN, or at EDF in the numerous labs with large discharges and large energies (millions of volts), which is not the case, because they never see lightning in a ball.
So to provide this long-term plasma energy, we need something else, which escapes us because it is very rare.
"The present paper reports detailed observations of the initiation or birth of ball lightning"
I really don't see where the problem is. On the contrary, where the sellers of miracles eventually raged, we see there the embryo of something in great detail by real scientists. (Research School of Physics and Engineering, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT, - Materials Science and Engineering, CSIRO, Sydney, New South Wales - Australia.
Real scientists can totally get confused, like gurus, especially when they don't study where this long-lasting plasma energy comes from, the only problem with ball lightning.
The theories of combustion of something, silicon, metal, etc are more coherent, except that the silica of the earth is oxidized silicon which cannot burn like metallic silicon in the chips of our computers !!
What matters is experience and its verification by all of us, as we do with the Maxwell's theory and others before him, real, that we constantly check, with fluorescent lamps, TV, GPS, phones, and CERN, under Obamot's feet !!!
Certainly, there are some who are hard ... chestnut.
There's some in there!
