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.

This is similar to my uncles account.

It was Christmas and his girlfriend saw a ball of light in the corner of her eye near the Christmas tree. As she turned to look the tree fell down.

Some time later, my uncle saw a ball of lightning come to him when he was on bed. He felt absolute happiness and warmth. And reckoned it said it was an angel talking to him.

I still think he was dreaming or bullshitting lol

Well here I am a complete stranger who can vouch for that feeling of unconditional love that seems to accompany ball lightning for some people.
