       Just learned about this. Now I want to try and document it once myself. I wonder what the conditions are needed to see it.

       @Elliptica I saw one of those when I was in middle school and sounded like an insane person when I started telling people that I swear to God I saw a dragon in the clouds.This shit is actually real and I wasn't a schizo?

       @Eiswald Yeah, it's real, I thought it was fake at first too.It's neat that you've seen it. None of people I've asked about this have.

       @Elliptica I would say it's almost certainly some sort of electrical phenomenon, movements aren't all that different from those of the arcs in plasma globes. I'd say it probably could be studied to find out specific conditions that are likely to cause it, but I'd guess it's something to do with a cloud that has a higher/different charge compared to the surrounding air.

       @Evorsio Yeah, I think the cause is the electric field of the thunder storm builds up, and charged particles of water or ice are pulled into loops that refract light (it looks a lot like how hair moves when you're touching a van de graaff generator). The the storm distcharges, and the loop vanishes or it moves to a new field line.What I'm wondering is, where would someone need to be in order to see this. Does every thunderstorm do this, but is can only observed in one specific position? Is that position random, or is it relative to the position of the sun, storm, and observer?
