Debated posting this, while flying out of Chicago on Friday evening 4.3.26, there was a storm incoming as we were going up in altitude. The storm looked really cool from a distance, so I wanted to film it for inspiration (I like to paint Bob Ross types scenes, side note I wish he painted more stormy settings. Angry clouds). I filmed a quick 10 second video to see if it would come out well (not really as you’ll see). But as I rewatched the video I noticed these flashing, maybe even moving lights way way above the storm line, flashing out of sequence with lightning flashes. I looked out the window again and could only see the storm, so I took my camera out and just pointed it at the storm and I could see the lights again. I took a few more videos, then asked the guy sitting next to me if he could see any flashing lights. I think he was a bit annoyed I interrupted his kindle time, he kind of rolled his eyes and said “yeah, there’s a storm out there”. I showed him the video, and he started geeking out, getting his own phone out to take a few vids too. Has anyone else ever seen this? These lights weren’t visible to a naked human eye but cameras were able to pick them up? PS - I’ll be pointing my camera out the window periodically to forever now when I’m flying haha. submitted by /u/dothehussle [link] [comments]
