It's a streamer (see wiki Lightning#Leader_formation_and_the_return_stroke). Streamers can be seen e.g. on the ending of a tesla coil, too. It is similar to the Saint Elmo's fire.
I think the possibility is endless due to global warming, a lightning will strike twice at the same spot are more likely to happen if you have a lightning rod, the difference is its not the same cloud on its location.
the conductivity in the air nearby your house reach it point, the static current flow right away as the result. that's what i can say.... i'm not the expert though....
this is a positive charged upleader, as the negative charge increses above the ground, the ground will emitt many positively charged "upleaders" to meet with the negative charge that is comming from the cloud, the one upleader that connect with downleader will produce a lightning bolt.
Do a search for LIGHTNING STREAMERS should explain it for better than i could , but basically several of these streamers will shoot from the ground in the vicinty of of a oncoming strike and the lightning will eventually join one of these streamers. well to be exact the strike actually travels upwards check it out its fasinating......; )
(This little bit of information may help you figure out what occurred in this video on your own) - The visible part of a lightning bolt actually comes from the ground up to the sky.
this is a streamer - charge to the cloud + they both meet then discharge to earth
if you are the source of the streamer your hair will stand on end and your about to be a stat if you have time get on all 4rs with bum highest point as the bolt has shortest route to earth with minimal internal damage to flesh if it travels through you from head to toe em your toast.
I know exactly why is that happened it has nothing to do with ghost energy? If you can comprehend how lightening is working it will be clear to you what kind of effect is that. I have been thinking how to explain not to give out to much but I want you to know the answer is in the way for you. My next respond I will give you the answer.
The faint 'lightning' in the foreground has exactly the same shape as the real lightning further off in the distance - the odds of two arcs in different locations having exactly the same configuration and shape is about the same as the odds that it was I who created the Universe! This was something you easily put together yourself, by taking a few frames from the actual strike, and overlaying those frames onto the original video before the strike using the screen blending option in After Effects
@zillionz No, I did not use After Effects. ;) But I agree, I don't think it's real as well. It's probably some reflection or a "ghost lightning" as a few people mentioned. =)
@Vojife Well, it don't matter what it is... your video has gotten lots and lots of views, lots of likes, and lots of comments, and as such, is a great success... videos like this are what youtube are all about. ;) Well done :P
this is caused by a negative charge in clouds, near lightning people have reported small arcs coming off of random stuff like cars, trees, and even other people, because the place it strikes may not have enough positive electrons to displace the lightnings effect.
@thecoolface123 so he just happened to be a few meters away from the place that the lighting was drawing the negative charge from? not sure if it's the positive or negative that sits on the ground before the lighting strikes.
ummm could this be why they tell us to not pick up the telephone in a lightning storm? cuz it's lighting, and its unpredictable? sprite maybe? lightning is pretty awesome no matter how you look at it.
To me it looks like some kind of elms fire often been seen in the neighbourhood of lightning storms. I do not really believe in the idea this could be a digital camera side effect for one reason: these should have been seen after the lightning not before...
it's called a streamer, it happens when there's lightning. current from the ground reaches out to find a streamer from the sky, when they touch, you get a lightning bolt. not exactly rocket science.
Well Lightning does n `t really move from cloud to ground it moves from the ground to the cloud ina ay cause the electrons or whatever moves from the ground in to the cloud to nutrilise the cloud...
Very simple actually. Lightning is made of two components. Streamers and step leaders. Positive streamers are the ionized currents of air that originate from the ground and extend upward to meet descending step leaders. There may be many streamers from miles around, from the ground that are trying to make contact with the descending step leader. But only the one that makes first contact will be the path of the lightning bolt. You actually caught a streamer which is rare but very explainable.
thats how lightning works. the bolt from the sky is atracted from the endergy on the ground. then a energy bolt races to meet the lightning. :) arnt i smart?
Great catch on camera! What you have Is called a lead or leader. Lightning starts from the ground up. This is a failed lead on the strike in the distance. Had this lead hooked up instead of the one way out in the back you would have had a very close hit. This is a better catch because youtube has lots of normal strikes. Thumb this up folks as its true.
@matthewobvious I might add that not all lightning is like this. Currently there are multiple types of unknown new to science forms like sprites and jets. Side note: These leads can come out the top of your head or through your golf club in hand. If you feel a sudden static build up or some say the smell of sulfur then hit the deck and stick your head between your ass and hope for the best. For those kids saying its ghosting... That's like saying thunder comes first then the light.
In science they teach you that lighting is from ground to cloud. It looks like it goes from cloud to ground, but it supposedly starts on the ground and shoots to the sky.
This effect is usually found when you capture bright flashing things on an average camera. It's caused by the refresh rate of the CCD.an example of this is if you look at videos of a stun gun arcing, usually you'll see faint copies of the spark appearing in a straight line above and below the actual one.
@Twizt3dArc Definately an artifact - notice how the copy is the exact same shape as the lightning in the distance. Happens to me all the time (im a stormchaser)
Its an illusion created by the camera. The charge encounters a first contact with an upward leader, causing an original pulse (discharge). This is accompanied by a bright lightning bolt and sometimes "staccato" lightning. As it is the original pulse, the camera may not capture it properly either due to image stabilization, a reflection off of a glass lens, or a frame rate issue. The "ghosting" affect is simply you're cameras attempt at capturing it,inherently misplacing the image of the1st bolt
You reversed the recording, simple as that. In other words you played the video backwards... so it looks like the lightening is on the roof of the house first but its not.
It really tripped me out too when I was recording lightning in Texas one time. I couldn't figure out how the lightning bolt appeared 10 feet in front of me on the tape before it appeared in the sky several miles away. I finally figured it out by logical deduction. Audio tape works the same way. If you listen to a really old audio tape that's been coiled up for a long time, you can sometimes hear "ghost echoes" of certain sounds get louder and louder before they actually play full volume.
...What you are seeing is the transferred magnetic field on a portion of the tape that was stacked either above or below the portion of the tape where the strongest (original) signal was located.
This visual phenomenon occurs almost every time lightning is recorded with analog video tape. It's all over youtube... just do a search.
The video was recorded with analog video tape. Any higher level magnetic fields on the surface of the tape (super bright portions, like a lightning bolt) can be transferred to the magnetic surface of any tape surface that comes into contact with the original spot on the tape where the heavier magnetic field was recorded. As the tape coils up on the reel, it is stacked upon itself in layers. (continued in Part 2 of 2)...
it looks like it has to do wit da camera. it some weird effect can happen the same way it does in a picture and it looks like a reflection of the lightning. j.s.
Hey, moron, they are obviously two different events overlayed on one video. You can see the trail of the thin lighting having been obscuredby the more flashier fake one because it takes the eye off the original lighting trail.
So either you did this in adobe premiere, or god was trying to keep you from seeing his thinner cuter bf naked orgasm by cumming louder and more boisterously withoutyou seeing it came from same event and was run underground.
As in what Redleg171 says.....i can see with the naked eye that the two strikes are identical,the first one is not on the conductor,it is mearly a reflection on your camera lense seen seperately due to a split second time delay to allow for the light to travel the distance between your lense and where it struck...........my opinion,but it would help me sleep at night lol :)
That is called a stepped leader, the best way to explain it is that it is like a pre-strike...most people are injured by these as opposed to direct strikes
I was an electronics instructor for the US Air Force, and this was always a good one that I loved explaining to my students. We often talk about lightning coming from the clouds and striking the ground, but the absolute truth is that when a thundercloud forms over an area, it creates a point of positive energy, which interacts with the negative ground. A vacuum channel is formed, and energy moves from the ground up. Science is mysterious and weird.
I am by no means an expert on digital photography, lightning etc, but I copied the foreground lightning and the "real" lightning strike into a photo editor. Side by side they look nearly identical in shape. I wonder if there's some sort of delay with the circuitry that processes the images, and if the strike was so bright it superimposed the strike over the data it was currently "processing". This is pure speculation of course, but I'd encourage you to compare the shape of the two bolts.
Guys, I read most of the comments and the most probable explanation seems... UFO! Kidding! The most probable explanation seems the "ghost lightning" (You can look it up). =)
@Vojife. Lighting starts as positive charged "feeders" from the ground - up. During a lighting storm several feeders may appear, however, not everyone of them will form a conventional lighting strike as the negative charge in the cloud will be attracted to the nearest / strongest positive feeder, therefore only one lighting strike - like your video. You're very lucky to capture such a rare thing.
it's called a stepped leader, During a thunderstorm there are dozens to hundreds of these "upward lightning bolts" but in actuality only a small percentage of these make contact with the charge in the cloud to form actual lightning bolts.
Your very fortunate to catch a stepped leader on film, they are usually too small and too fast to even notice with naked eye.
lightning strikes from the sky, but the flash travels up from the ground. there has to be a connection before lightning can strike. essentially, what you saw coming off that house was what's called a streamer. it reaches up and if lightning connects to it, you see the flash travel up from the ground to the lightning point of origin in the form of an immense electrical discharge. that is why you shouldn't be in an open field during a thunderstorm.
Bell engines of nazihaunebus caused in ww2 similar lightnings cause engine uses positive and negative energy of clouds... So maybe some newtype "haunebu" like i like call them, maidenflight in 1939 so dont feed me BS about UFOS in mexico it wasnt shotdown, wasnt weapons capable do it, it was experiment gone wrong and easiest way make ppl believe bullshit is to tell "it was alien driving a ufo" Nowadays tech cant shootdown realufo, they wont even appear near anything what could. (ive met aliens)
Scientists know that most lightning bolts follow a per-determined path, established by a preliminary strike from the ground "UP". Although it would first appear that is what is happening here, the lower ground to cloud strike is much closer than the second, more distant cloud to ground strike. If this is not a phenomenon of camera lens/film speed, then I would say you have a real mystery here!
It's also cool that you happened to be directing your attention toward that area in the first place!
WARNING: Please do the research on what I'm about to tell you. The Illuminati are fixing to kill us all with the HAARP(Weapon of Mass Destruction) and set up their evil New World Order. Please Youtube: HAARP and watch tons of videos of this new weapon in action. Please spread the information about it after you see for yourself.
from my understanding it's what they call a "leader". The ground shoots up lots of these just before a bolt hits. And it chooses the best one. It just so happened it didn't chose the one behind your house, but the one a few miles away.
Generally speaking, Lightning travels both up and down and sometimes, with a fast enough camera, you can see them meet. This one just didn't.
@BrachioInGen it also looks like the first one travels up the corner of the roof of the house. The house is probably grounded (given the pole from the roof). What you could be seeing is both a "leader" and also a discharge of the ground into the atmosphere via the roof's grounded wiring which would travel down the roof, down the side of the house and into the ground.
I think I can explain this. I think that what you are seeing is the reflection of another lightning strike that happened milliseconds before the main bolt. You can see the clouds light up at the same time that the "reflective" bolt is captured on the video. The reflection is either on the window or in the camera lense.
This is a relatively common phenomenon regarding lightning and digital cameras. The limitations of frame speed cause the video to not capture all of the lightning's pulsations and nuances. What happened in this case is you had an initial strike (look at the cloud - you'll see it) and what you see in the vid is a lense reflection of the intial strike. This is documented quite a lot in lighting videos on Youtube. I've taken at least one video that has the same thing going on.
negative polarised lightning. Sky is the cathode and lighning rod is the anode. Satisfied ? read more about High Tension Circuits. You can re create it in smaller version of that lightning.
If you take that frame rate and compare it to the one behind it they are both very intensely similar... My only guess is the light effected your cameras reflection in some way... either the window or your camera lense. since the first strike was so light and quick the second ones overpowered any inefficient shots. but i'm just being simple
1's times i was kird i seens lightning next to head it fell half way light next head. my mom yelled "come in side lightning" then i ran and den seen lightning strike where i stand.
This might be St. Elmo's fire, it can occur before and during storms and they like edges, in this case a ridge on the roof ;) If a really intense strom is coming they can appear even on grass, leaves, anything sharp.
Before the main lightning strike, little "feeler" bolts reach out, almost as though it is searching for the best path to strike. Now, to explain how a video camera works, it's kind of like a rapid fire camera. It takes typically between 24-30 (sometimes 60) frames per second, giving the illusion of fluid motion. Because of this, a camera usually misses these "feeler" bolts. Looks like your camera won the lottery and actually may have captured one. I'd feel proud to have this footage!
Ground-to-cloud lightning is a lightning discharge between the ground and a cumulonimbus cloud initiated by an upward-moving leader stroke. This type of lightning forms when negatively charged ions called the stepped leader rise up from the ground and meet the positively charged ions in a cumulonimbus cloud. Then the strike goes back to the ground as the return stroke. This is also called positive lightning.
@hellknight2500hd Everyone keeps giving me this explanation. I know that. But if it was the upward lightning, the downward lightning would have to be in front of the house. But it was in the distance.
@Vojife your silly :D its 2 seperate lightning strikes thats why. the one at the start was just 2 fast for your camera to se the entire thing. the second one wasnt.
“[T]his planet, with all its appalling immensity, is to electric currents virtually no more than a small metal ball.” -Nikola Tesla, 1904, electrical science pioneer. The fact that lightning can interact almost instantly over long distances should not be a surprise to any one of us Internet users who communicate and interact by all the same "virtually instantaneous" electrical effects every day.
@PraimixX it can be..but the shaddow wah before lightning...! well..i can edit a video like this in sony vegas ..and looks creepy too ! If is not fake,is hard2 understand,but,reflex is not,unless the video is edited ! greets
that ark is a ground lighting volt emited upwareds i have seen it when i live in the country but very rare but not conected to the other bolt the brightness starts at the base of the bolt
The double strike of lightning is a repeat of the same strike. this is relatively common. No double strikes after 10 seconds, this was less than a second.
The first seen lightning on the roof was the electrons travelling to the main strike a moment later. It is also part of the same strike since the charge is gaining strength at the primary strike location. I imagine 1 large strike could be gathering electrons from up to a kilometer away.
When lightning strikes it will strike the same spot a number of times but it's usually so quick you generally see it as one strike. This time it's a bit slower so the seperate strikes can be see individually.
Interesting. I have my own video on YouTube showing what I thought was a stepped leader, but when I put the question to a weather forum there were other examples showing similar scenes. It apparently has something to do with the way a video camera operates and inter-lacing...Or something like that. Not saying this isn't a stepped leader...But it could just be the camera.
Incidentally, does anyone know if a stepped leader would make an electrical cracking sound as it discharged..?
Same thing happens in my storm over luton video! Did not notice it untill i was editing. and thought it my pc messing up the frames. Take a look every one its on the first bit around the 3rd strike... its not an effect i put in it was filmed live...from under a tree!
Energy is everywere, when heat meets cold, it concentrates this energy into the clauds, battery like, till it descharges, it is done to estimulate the life around, every thing thats living in this area tend to be estimulated to reproduce...
I don't think these two lightnings have anything to do with one another. Even though they occurred within milliseconds of one another, I believe that the one that went down the roof of the house was a completely separate strike. The illusion is in your perspective. Had you been on any other side of that house, the two strikes would never have seemed to be correlated.
It looks to me like you are catching reflection of your window, which in fact comes faster then the original lightning.
Intriguing, if real, that human eye (camera sensor) catches the reflection first because it is faster and closer to the observer? You need to take the video apart and overlap the frames to match shape of the jolt.
That in the foreground is an unrelated leader.

(PART 1 of 2)
The explanation is this:
The video was recorded with analog video tape. Any higher level magnetic fields on the surface of the tape (super bright portions, like a lightning bolt) can be transferred to the magnetic surface of any tape surface that comes into contact with the original spot on the tape where the heavier magnetic field was recorded. As the tape coils up on the reel, it is stacked upon itself in layers. (continued in Part 2 of 2)...

Hey, moron, they are obviously two different events overlayed on one video. You can see the trail of the thin lighting having been obscuredby the more flashier fake one because it takes the eye off the original lighting trail.
So either you did this in adobe premiere, or god was trying to keep you from seeing his thinner cuter bf naked orgasm by cumming louder and more boisterously withoutyou seeing it came from same event and was run underground.
I call it a fake with 2 events being overlay

As in what Redleg171 says.....i can see with the naked eye that the two strikes are identical,the first one is not on the conductor,it is mearly a reflection on your camera lense seen seperately due to a split second time delay to allow for the light to travel the distance between your lense and where it struck...........my opinion,but it would help me sleep at night lol :)

I was an electronics instructor for the US Air Force, and this was always a good one that I loved explaining to my students. We often talk about lightning coming from the clouds and striking the ground, but the absolute truth is that when a thundercloud forms over an area, it creates a point of positive energy, which interacts with the negative ground. A vacuum channel is formed, and energy moves from the ground up. Science is mysterious and weird.
TheBenortlip 4 months ago
I am by no means an expert on digital photography, lightning etc, but I copied the foreground lightning and the "real" lightning strike into a photo editor. Side by side they look nearly identical in shape. I wonder if there's some sort of delay with the circuitry that processes the images, and if the strike was so bright it superimposed the strike over the data it was currently "processing". This is pure speculation of course, but I'd encourage you to compare the shape of the two bolts.

@Vojife. Lighting starts as positive charged "feeders" from the ground - up. During a lighting storm several feeders may appear, however, not everyone of them will form a conventional lighting strike as the negative charge in the cloud will be attracted to the nearest / strongest positive feeder, therefore only one lighting strike - like your video. You're very lucky to capture such a rare thing.
madmonty3uk 4 months ago
it's called a stepped leader, During a thunderstorm there are dozens to hundreds of these "upward lightning bolts" but in actuality only a small percentage of these make contact with the charge in the cloud to form actual lightning bolts.
Your very fortunate to catch a stepped leader on film, they are usually too small and too fast to even notice with naked eye.

LaneBeckhart 5 months ago
lightning strikes from the sky, but the flash travels up from the ground. there has to be a connection before lightning can strike. essentially, what you saw coming off that house was what's called a streamer. it reaches up and if lightning connects to it, you see the flash travel up from the ground to the lightning point of origin in the form of an immense electrical discharge. that is why you shouldn't be in an open field during a thunderstorm.

Bell engines of nazihaunebus caused in ww2 similar lightnings cause engine uses positive and negative energy of clouds...

perezpaco1000 5 months ago
Scientists know that most lightning bolts follow a per-determined path, established by a preliminary strike from the ground "UP". Although it would first appear that is what is happening here, the lower ground to cloud strike is much closer than the second, more distant cloud to ground strike. If this is not a phenomenon of camera lens/film speed, then I would say you have a real mystery here!
It's also cool that you happened to be directing your attention toward that area in the first place!

from my understanding it's what they call a "leader". The ground shoots up lots of these just before a bolt hits. And it chooses the best one. It just so happened it didn't chose the one behind your house, but the one a few miles away.
Generally speaking, Lightning travels both up and down and sometimes, with a fast enough camera, you can see them meet. This one just didn't.
BrachioInGen 5 months ago
@BrachioInGen it also looks like the first one travels up the corner of the roof of the house. The house is probably grounded (given the pole from the roof). What you could be seeing is both a "leader" and also a discharge of the ground into the atmosphere via the roof's grounded wiring which would travel down the roof, down the side of the house and into the ground.
BrachioInGen 5 months ago
I think I can explain this. I think that what you are seeing is the reflection of another lightning strike that happened milliseconds before the main bolt. You can see the clouds light up at the same time that the "reflective" bolt is captured on the video. The reflection is either on the window or in the camera lense.
jerryulibarri 5 months ago
This is a relatively common phenomenon regarding lightning and digital cameras. The limitations of frame speed cause the video to not capture all of the lightning's pulsations and nuances. What happened in this case is you had an initial strike (look at the cloud - you'll see it) and what you see in the vid is a lense reflection of the intial strike. This is documented quite a lot in lighting videos on Youtube. I've taken at least one video that has the same thing going on.
PJDooWop 5 months ago
That is called a Lightning Streamer.
Manny of these come from the ground up to the sky, the one that the Sky Lighting charge connects with will create the strike.
Consider yourself lucky that this streamer didn't connect or you would have had that strike VERY close to you!
Very cool that you caught it on film!

lookup "lighting leader" on youtube. They are small lighting bolts seen coming off objects before a strike, often away from the main strike.
sgbalinger 5 months ago
If you take that frame rate and compare it to the one behind it they are both very intensely similar... My only guess is the light effected your cameras reflection in some way... either the window or your camera lense. since the first strike was so light and quick the second ones overpowered any inefficient shots. but i'm just being simple

Before the main lightning strike, little "feeler" bolts reach out, almost as though it is searching for the best path to strike. Now, to explain how a video camera works, it's kind of like a rapid fire camera. It takes typically between 24-30 (sometimes 60) frames per second, giving the illusion of fluid motion. Because of this, a camera usually misses these "feeler" bolts. Looks like your camera won the lottery and actually may have captured one. I'd feel proud to have this footage!

Ground-to-cloud lightning:
Ground-to-cloud lightning is a lightning discharge between the ground and a cumulonimbus cloud initiated by an upward-moving leader stroke. This type of lightning forms when negatively charged ions called the stepped leader rise up from the ground and meet the positively charged ions in a cumulonimbus cloud. Then the strike goes back to the ground as the return stroke. This is also called positive lightning.
Coors232 5 months ago
The bolt from the cloud just did not connect to the first lightning bolt coming from the ground. It connected to the second one.

As the clouds discharge, several small spikes raise from the ground (just like the one you captured) but the main bolt only connects with one.

“[T]his planet, with all its appalling immensity, is to electric currents virtually no more than a small metal ball.” -Nikola Tesla, 1904, electrical science pioneer. The fact that lightning can interact almost instantly over long distances should not be a surprise to any one of us Internet users who communicate and interact by all the same "virtually instantaneous" electrical effects every day.

The double strike of lightning is a repeat of the same strike. this is relatively common. No double strikes after 10 seconds, this was less than a second.
The first seen lightning on the roof was the electrons travelling to the main strike a moment later. It is also part of the same strike since the charge is gaining strength at the primary strike location. I imagine 1 large strike could be gathering electrons from up to a kilometer away.

ofa120 6 months ago
When lightning strikes it will strike the same spot a number of times but it's usually so quick you generally see it as one strike. This time it's a bit slower so the seperate strikes can be see individually.

Interesting. I have my own video on YouTube showing what I thought was a stepped leader, but when I put the question to a weather forum there were other examples showing similar scenes. It apparently has something to do with the way a video camera operates and inter-lacing...Or something like that. Not saying this isn't a stepped leader...But it could just be the camera.
Incidentally, does anyone know if a stepped leader would make an electrical cracking sound as it discharged..?

I don't think these two lightnings have anything to do with one another. Even though they occurred within milliseconds of one another, I believe that the one that went down the roof of the house was a completely separate strike. The illusion is in your perspective. Had you been on any other side of that house, the two strikes would never have seemed to be correlated.

@Vojife
It looks to me like you are catching reflection of your window, which in fact comes faster then the original lightning.
Intriguing, if real, that human eye (camera sensor) catches the reflection first because it is faster and closer to the observer? You need to take the video apart and overlap the frames to match shape of the jolt.
