>From Wikipedia, and man I love that first parenthetical remark:

"In theoretical physics, a kugelblitz (German: "ball lightning", not
to be confused with ball lightning) is a concentration of light so
intense that it forms an event horizon and becomes self-trapped:
according to general relativity, if enough radiation is aimed into a
region, the concentration of energy can warp spacetime enough for the
region to become a black hole"
