White Light OUTSIDE My Door

Don't think it was a firecracker, as there was no remains of a firecracker and we don't have a neighbor close enough to throw one over our fence.

Doubt it was lightning either. Clear sky that night, no thunder, no sign of lightning striking, and wouldnt the noise have come after also?

All I know is my family heard this noise and a second later my brother saw the light originate from the point on the ground and spread outwards extremely bright for a second then disappear. That's honestly all I got, but I'll ask my brother later today if there's anything else I'm missing.

Those are the first things I noticed too. Then I was filled with envy that I don't have a head massager like that.

But to the OP, and someone else that posted a similar story; do you think it's possible it was ball lightning? I mean it's pretty much considered as "out there" as paranormal things and there isn't a lot of information about it, but from stories I've read it sounds like it could be the same thing.

Wikipedia-Ball Lightning

Does that sound at all like what your brother and his friends saw? There are reports of ball lightning exploding, moving around, etc. It's fairly rare and there isn't a lot known about it, but that was the first thing I thought of when you said it couldn't be a transformer.

If it's ball lightning that's pretty awesome, I've been fascinated with it for awhile now.

Perhaps someone in your neighbourhood was playing with fireworks.

When I was a kid I had the privilege of seeing one of these. It hovered for a few seconds over the lake by our house. Beautiful phenomena.

Something broke the sound barrier.

Ball lightning comes to mind as the most natural cause.

Doors are often made of metal, so that might have something to do with the location. Negatively charged ions gather up somewhere, not unlike when you drag your rubber shoes across a synthetic fiber carpet, and then they can attract their opposite. Nature vented, you got ball lightning, a plasma bubble. Maybe your house was generating a lot of static, from the fridge, the dryer, the heater, and other electronics in your home.

I wondering about the trees, if any, around the home, and vehicles, rocks, water sources, that could have contributed to the location of this natural cause.

It could be a micro black hole too.

Those ideas aside, it could relate to something of a time and space nature. Doors. Living beings like using doors; doors hold not only a physical portal to your abode but also a metaphysical portal. It could be a phenomenon related to some burst of time travel that has yet to occur close to where you live. Or not; it could happen a thousand years from now. Hard to tell without other signs.

It's a gate to Narnia, greetings to Aslan.
