Replying to I saw Ball Lightning

If anyone as ever witnessed it its actually really cool to see but its scary as hell when its comming at you. I just saw it for the first time out on my porch. I bent down picking up a tennis ball that I dropped when I saw a bright flash light everything up. I looked up and saw a white streak of lightning coming towards me the it stopped and went straight to the ground not 5 feet in front of me and turned into a ball that hovered above the ground for about 2 seconds before hearing a hissing noise followed by an intense cracking noise that I have never heard anything like it before in my life. The best way i can describe it would be a gun shot right near your face, only a gun shots' bang is directional. This noise filled the air all around me and just seemed to fill my body. I was immediately freaked the fuck out so I turned around to see my brother standing in the doorway saying "what the fuck was that???". I guess he saw it too when he was comming outside and saw a bigger ball hover farther out in the yard. We went inside to relax and watch tv and when we turned it on the color was purple and white. Along with that tv, every single videoscreen in the house including this computer screen has been totally ruined because of it. NOT ONLY THAT! but the radio station right next to my house went off the air and just came back on the air a couple minutes ago. Anyone living in the philly area that has the new 107.5 FRANK FM can verify this as well. Just thought I'd share this.
