Lightning strike: ? only once ?

"... test aircraft was struck by lightning last year, with no damage ..."

About thirty years ago, during natural- icing testing on VA#3 (original B767 testing), it suffered three or four strikes during one test (one day) [memory now fading]. The metal skin did show the strikes.
