Where can I find discussions about ball lightning and post anecdotal accounts?

[Michelle Spalding]

Hello, I'm a new member. Found my way here trying to learn more about ball lightning or where I might find discussions and/or post anecdotal accounts. My mother's best friend experienced what I believe was ball lightning in her home yesterday. She has never heard of ball lightning and cannot understand what she witnessed. She didn't get photos of the object because it only lasted a few seconds, but took photos of some odd marks on the outside of the living room window where the object entered her house.

I'm hoping to find a forum where this sort of thing is discussed in a way that is neither dismissive or overrun with woo/metaphysical content. Any help or a point in the right direction is very much appreciated.
