I have a very distinct memory from about 3-4 years old of having observed a cloud-to-ground lightning strike at a range where escaping physical harm would be incredibly unlikely, and some of the physical phenomena that would accompany it being completely missing. Pretty clearly not a real memory.

Once I realized that, I became much more skeptical of eyewitness accounts.

Even actual events tend to be remembered quite differently by different people who experienced them at the same time. Anyone with siblings will be able to attest to that, as will anyone who has attended a family reunion or other similar event and then reminisced about it later with others who were there.
