[Vicks007kid]

[fastsnow]

lol@all the comments getting removed lol

[jerichomutant]

FAKE. Real lightning doesn't look like that. They are dropping chemical balls down onto a fake rotation earth ball when they film it underwater.

[gunmetal10]

@jerichomutant stfu noob thats wut u think u fkin betch

[bestperson1234]

@jerichomutant youre a fruity clown, why would they fake this? as if lightning storms arent real or something, we know lightning storms exist so would we need to make a fake video to prove them you idiot

[fearskiller7]

@jerichomutant Dude, Space and Underwater are two completly different things.

[Terri2799]

WOW! What an amazing view.

[nadoeloiskat]

so you can actually see the city lights so clearly from the clouds

[texasghost]

I live in Dallas...we must have had a bad storm that night.

[cmarcallen]

It's interesting how it seems to go off in patterns even though the individual strikes can be hundreds of miles apart.

[Mazza4Azza]

Yeah it's not black & white guys. This part of the earth is obviously facing away from the sun.

[ArmySoldier0470]

@Mazza4Azza Thermal Vision, that's how it detects the heat signatures from the lightning that well.

[Mazza4Azza]

@ArmySoldier0470

Oh, really? Interesting. Just thought seeing as it was dark and we can see the city lights. Thanks for telling me.

[emersondavis]

[toofresh91]

@smith0250 lololololololol

[aliultimate009]

lately in the discovery channels i've heard and saw a very strange thing about lightning ... i think most people knows that the lightning should goes below the cloud right ? ... but did they heard of a lightning that goes ABOVE the clouds ? O_o

that's what i can tell from this video ^_^

and man ... it sounds like a very big bombs used down in earth ... i should not be surprised since those flashes that i see in this video is only 50.000.000 shattered volts ^^U ?

[maxilos1987]

ive seen clips of lignting going above the clouds

[aliultimate009]

i've just searched about that after i've posted my comment here ... it appears they call it sprites ^_^

[3plus4equals7]

and get high too

[3plus4equals7]

they might make music to match the beat of the lightning though

[iamirshadhussain]

if there are aliens on the moon it will scare the shit out of them
