Have you ever seen a strange ball of light fly through your window?

Question

My husband was 3 at the time. He claims he "always remembered something that happened when he was around 3 yrs. old. One day he was looking out of his crib and a ball of light from the sky descended down, came right through the window and went into his forehead". I asked him what it felt like. He explained "It felt good".

Assuming it was at night, he went on to say it was during the daytime when it took place.

This is all he remembers but says it was something he never forgot.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WAS??

hmmm ..... sounds pretty mysterious to me.

Answer 1

I think you cant trust memories from that far back. Memories are very much subject to our interpetation to begin with and they become corrupted over the years.

I read about a study on memory a while back where they posed as an advertising agency. They asked for people who had been to disney land and they showed them fliers. One of the photos in the picture had bugs bunny in a big costume, which is not a disney character. Amongst a series of normal questions they asked if the person remembered meeting Bugs Bunny when they visited Disney. I think it was 4 out of 10 said they had, and then insisted later that they remembered the encounter and that it was real.

The point is, memory is not to be trusted that much, and certainly an adults childhood memory is not even close to reliable.

Answer 4

I have woken up in the middle of the night to observe a ball of light in my own bedroom.  Upon describing it to a friend they directed me to some sites on a phenomena called "ball lightening".

Currently, there is some controversy over whether or not this actually exists but I have seen enough photographs and experienced it myself to feel I can say I think it does exist.  Don't be put off at the assumption that lightening must be fast or dangerous.  Many of the reports on this describe it as moving slowly and floating around.  It has been experienced on airplanes as well.  The good feeling might be ascribed to the change in the energy field from it being in the room.  I recall feeling rather warm, fuzzy and relaxed when it was in my room.

For more information and pictures, here are a few links:

This site contains a large number of eyewitness accounts that your husband can read and see if they match his own experience:  http://amasci.com/weird/unusual/bl.html

I had a wonderful picture of ball lightening but don't see how to post it here or share it.  And, I can't find the website I had found it on.  Hopefully this helps.

Answer 5

It may of been an angel....In 2003 when i was at my lowest point, after a devastating situation in my life..I was in my bedroom, around 3.30 - 4.00 am, having terrible thoughts..i wanted to end my life right there and then...I was sitting on my bed, my window was open, when the brightest white light, it was huge, it flew through my window, across my bed, almost touching me, flew through my door, through the house, and i had a family member staying in the front lounge that night, It flew right past him, and out a closed window, and back outside...He saw it to thank god...It stopped me, and from that night ive had a close connection with angels..That was the first of many other experiences i had after that, that were angelic, and purely spiritual....My whole room and the whole house lit up like a sports stadium, it was so bright, and really beautiful...something ill never forget.....

Answer 6

I have had a small ball of white light ( orb ) slowly pass by my computer screen one time while I was on the computer...that kinda freaked me out....but was not scary.

When I was like 8 years old I woke up and there was this blueish haze of light in the middle of our bunkbeds that lingered there...  My mother died when I was 3 so It could have been her.

Dont believe people when they try to tell you that you cant trust what you saw when you were young.  You know what you saw.  The orb that passed by while I was on the computer was like 5 years ago and people will still tell you that you didnt see what you saw.

Answer 7

I think it was a small child imagining something.

Most likely a dream he had while he was napping in his cot.

Children can't separate fact from fiction, we know this because small children happily believe in all sorts of impossible fabrications like Santa and the Easter Bunny.

Answer 8

marlynfr has some awnser that reminds me of 3 personnal experience and I am gratefull to had read her (or him).

First, is the fact that a lightning landed at the feet of my bed when I was 4 or 5 after the window blind unrolled a couple of times.  After that I wasn't scared anymore by thunder, lightnings and rain for maybe all of my life!  And I slept well!  (My adoptive Mom and Grand-Ma as well as my younger brother are all scared by thunders and storms.  And yet, I'm the only one in the familly feeling blessed by them!)

Second, is the fact that I did felt trough me and all around me an intense peace and warmth when my BF died and I was away visiting my Brother.  As to tell me not worrying for him.  (and a lot of stories around that too that I'll save for another time.)  

Third, and final, I remember having a hardtime with my adoptive familly and living at my Grand-Ma's place.  One night, I've pray the Lord very long and hard because of my pain and I've been allowed in what seemed to be a dream to get to my parents room and to talk to them in the dark about what mattered in my life and what drove me mad and desperate and what to do to remediate to it!  My father didn't budged but my mom seemed scared and frightened and tried to wake up my father!  I've asked them both to let the light enter in their life and brighten our days ans as I did it, I clearly remembered my translucent blue/white hand get to the light interruptor and lit the room.  In the morning, I had momentarilly forgotten what had happened and woke up because my grand-ma talked to the phone with my mom and seemed astonished.  She handled me the phone and my overexited mom explained me what happened in the night.  She heard a voie in the room, couldn't wake up my father, and then, the light got on by itself!  With no rememberance on this yet I've asked her to listen to the voice because that might had been the voice of an angel bringing her light in her life!  And went on to school.  As I returned back to lunch, memories started to pour back into me of what happened the earlier night.  But, as my Mom got suddenly all nice to me, I couldn't grind my theets anymore about not telling her how powerfull I was (or how nicely God allowed me to talk to her trough what I tought a dream).  In fact, she rather was affected positively by the experience for a good two weeks.  I've talked about that recently to her, but even if she recalls the voice and light opened by itself, she refuse to believe that I was behind it!
