Weird floating paranormal ball of weirdness
My brother and I were sitting in the living room listening to the record player (note to younger readers: this was a technology before MP3, even before CDs). As we sat there we both became aware of a bubble rising from the record player: a kind of spherical shimmering in the air, about the size of a tennis ball. It rose a couple of feet and then burst with a pop, like someone blowing bubble gum. I looked at my brother, he looked at me: neither of us knew what it was. We examined the record player: nothing to be seen, and the music just kept playing as normal. Never seen anything like it before or since. I can only assume that it was the ghost of a disgruntled session musician somehow becoming physical.

Sounds like ball lightning
If so, you're very lucky to see it, it's quite rare

I've wondered about that
but it was a very calm day, with no storms. I always thought it must have been something like ball lightning, generated by the (electric) record player.
