i think its actually fake. Lightning doesnt avoid tall objects to strike a bush, no after flame of any kind even though it produces several thousand degrees temperature, it can instantly evaporate water on objects that are struck, no steam, no smoke, no after flame, its fake..
Dear Matt. I am a lightning Fanatic, I have ben for half my Adult life. What you have captured is what of the strikes leaders. You most certainly would have found yourself with perforated ear drums if that was the main discharge. Chances are the main Discharge (or bolt/Strike) was to the sides of the cameras field of view or even behind your house. That was just one of the smaller branch like parts that sometimes come from lightning. Absolutely Fantastic Vision. Hope you capture many more. P.S. your home is NOT, the safest place to be for lightning protection (it is safer than outside though) it turns out you car is the safest because of ots metal construction. lightning is always trying to earth or complete its circuit, so it will always try to find the easiest route or path of least resistance. If lightning strikes you car it will simply travel through the metal body of you car and jump from the lowest point of you car to the ground (if lightning can leap from the sky to the ground, it can leap from you tail pipe to the ground also. Its not the tires that protect you) In doing this, it will avoid electrocuting you, unless for some reason you form part of the discharge circuit.
Wanna know about lightings? Well when you look at the still pics of the lighting bolt it's is purple, it is actually red but due to the camera it looks purple. When it was being rec it might have seen some red flashes which means it was a sign of the lighting. There are different types of lightings, I'm not going to list them all but there is one lighting I might think is the one in the vid. I think the lighting in the vid is the Ball Lighting, it is the most rarest lighting you can get and it is red. I don't know much about it but I think it stikes anything that is tall like a building or tree so that is why it hit the house. I think that is all I need to tell you about this lighting 🙂
Excellent work!! I love that you managed to get each lightning strike synced with the sound of thunder! I do have a couple of suggestions though: Lightning is only percieved as purple during the night. In this setting is would commonly be percieved as white. If a lightning bolt struck that close, there would a split second afterwards where you could see it dissipate into tiny sparks. And there would be a brief explosion of smoke on the lawn where it hit, though any fire instantly quenched by the rain! Great work though! Its amazing!
I only want new video ...not old ones ...that I have never seen before ....please is there a box to check for newer video only ...I want to see the RU-vid manger please....... right now
There was a photo I saw once which explained the phenomenon of lightning striking twice by the charge building enough and sending a strike. A leader from the ground (often up to 10 metres long) which reaches up to the clouds strike, they connect and then the full discharge. The photo which showed 'leaders' reaching up from a tree, a street light and a few other tall items and lightning from the sky reaching to connect. This appeared to make me think that the naturally charged planet was offering various routes to the charge in the cloud. The first still at 1.17 shows the ground leader, centre of the lower edge of the frame, reaching up to make a connection so that the cloud can discharge. You have captured a ground leader which is a rare thing to capture without hi speed video or photographic equipment.
A lightning strike or lightning bolt is an electric discharge between the atmosphere and the ground. Most originate in a cumulonimbus cloud and terminate on the ground, called cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning. A less common type of strike, ground-to-cloud (GC) lightning, is upward propagating lightning initiated from a tall grounded object and reaching into the clouds. About 69% of all lightning events worldwide are strikes between the atmosphere and earth-bound objects. Most are intra-cloud (IC) lightning and cloud-to-cloud (CC), where discharges only occur high in the atmosphere. Lightning strikes the average commercial aircraft at least once a year, but modern engineering and design means this is rarely a problem. The movement of aircraft through clouds can even cause lightning strikes.
More proof that lightning doesn't always strike the highest object. There's a photograph of the space shuttle on its launch pad, yet the bolt hits a small hut nearby.
@@thatdude4237 I agree, I'm just addressing the old adage that lightning hits the tallest object. I've lived in two houses struck by lighting, and they were surrounded by taller objects in the immediate vicinity.
that was a pretty neat storm. tons of CG's. But yeah the CCD made it look like its close, but, its just a reflection off the real bolt. it was close still, enough to make ya jump.
its not fake but the 'bolt' that appears in front of the house and the trees is a ghosting of your lens, the real bolt is the one behind the trees. Not as close as you think
so how do you explain the bolt I saw with my eyes and the people that where there . we all saw the bolt hit in front of the house ....just like the video .....
The thing is the video doesn't show the bolt hitting in front of the tree or house. The freeze frames make it even easier to tell (which is easier to analyse than something with your own eyes as so often inaccuracies are seen when you think a bolt hits somewhere but see it diff in your pic or vid after, happens to me all the time). The bolt in front of the house in video is the same bolt as behind the trees. Look at the shape and angle and kinks in bolt, it matches up. All 3 seen in your still are infact the same bolt refracted multiple times. Overlay them together you will see.
You are absolutely correct. The "ghosting" effect is very common with cameras. The "real" bolt is indeed behind the house and trees. If in fact the actual bolt was where the ghost is placed, the thunder crash or pop would have been simultaneous and explosive.
When I was kid, i always stood at the metal door of my house and watched the lightning when it thundered. The lightning always hit the floor about 1-2 meters in front of my house. 😂😂
Not fake at all - you can see the main bolt strike well behind the trees and hence the "delay" in thunder. The bolts in the foreground are minor branches from the main bolt. Awesome catch of a bolt, Matt!
once i saw a rain falling maybe a little bit far away than the one in the video but the point is that i couldn't see more than just a light and a powerful sound which made me hide jajaaj so i dont think that rain is truth
I don't know why people think it's fake. Just because there are tall objects around, doesn't mean that lightning will always target them. It struck behind that line of trees, so we don't know what it hit.
JAdeyemi it’s a real lightning just not as close as he is making it out to be. Look at the still frames at the end of the video... the bolt that looks like it is in front of the house has the exact same shape as the one in the trees. It is a camera illusion, and the only real lightning was in the trees. ALSO IF it was hitting that house the thunder would have hit earlier.
Desiree Myers it hit a tree but the camera made an illusion of it in front of the house which is misleading. The cameraguy doesn’t understand there was only 1 bolt in the trees, he thinks it was right in front of him.
