I'm in agreement that the picture looks wrong.  The sodium in the 
salt water would give a orange/yellow color to the plasma unless it's 
vaporised copper salts mixed in.  The thing sounds more like a water 
arc gun without the barrel.  The balls that I have produced with my 
coils were like road flare bright.

In most natural cases, the ball is seen near carbon sources, which 
would make it a slow burning pyrotechnic system, rather than a pure 
plasma. That's why I favor the fullerene or fractal DLA models that 
the Corum's proposed.

   I don't think the picture is faked as the lighting on the guys 
faces and in the background seems to match the color and intensity of 
the bal as it flares and fadesl.  Can't say what it all represents of 
course...................................
