Lightning strikes from the sky when a channel of charged ions reaches down from the sky to connect with a channel of the opposite charge that is reaching up. This causes a flash of light called a step leader when electricity travels between the charges.

An instrument that measures, electronically, the direction of arrival, intensity, and rate of occurrence of atmospherics; a type of radio direction finder, it is most commonly used to detect and locate cloud-to-ground lightning discharges from distant thunderstorms.
No, it is not possible for sheet lightning to strike a person. Sheet lightning refers to the illumination of a widespread area of the sky due to a distant thunderstorm. It does not actually involve a physical discharge of lightning that can strike objects or people.
Lightning can strike humans when they are in close proximity to a lightning strike, such as standing under a tree or near metal objects. The human body can become a path for the electrical current to travel, resulting in a lightning strike. In such cases, the lightning can cause serious injury or even death.
