        Actually I have in July 1984. In fact the night sky was so lit that it appeared to be daylight.

        Exactly! I experienced this when I was in the Army and I try to explain it to people, but they think I'm exaggerating for saying it looked like daylight

        Common occurrence in Florida. Most of the people in my hometown call it sheet lightning. No rain. Just electromagnetically charge plasma. Always pretty.
