My ball lightning experience (Score 1)

This theory supports an incident that happened when I was still living at home. My family was gathered in the living room and kitchen when lightning must have struck our house (or close by). We each saw ball lightning appear before us at varying distances, but always in whatever direction each of us was looking. We weren't seeing the same instance of the phenomenon. Mine appeared about 20 ft away and moved a short distance before disappearing. My mom's appeared outside the window she was facing.
