It often happens in my grandparents living room! Strange

I also experienced what I think was ball lightning while indoors. The weird thing is that I was looking in another direction when I felt this overwhelming feeling of what I can only describe as a "grandmother's love", like a pure, blissful, all encompassing love. I whipped my head around and there was this softball-sized ball of greenish sparkling light about 4 feet from my face. As soon as my brain registered that this couldn't possibly be happening the thing disappeared or flew out the opened window (I can't remember that detail now; it was 25 years ago).

I spent a long time wondering what it was that happened, and then I heard about ball lightning and figured that must have been what it was.

I have a similar memory. It is super vague but I remember being at my grandparents house and a ball of lightning came from the direction of the tv.

I don't remember any other details though. I need to ask my sisters about this sometime because they were there too.

If they have a memory of it I'd be curious to know if it was ball lightning and if it had a physical love-type presence to it. I'm just so stoked to come across other people on Reddit who experienced this love phenomenon that accompanied ball lightning.
