Aaron Brigatti was enjoying a wonderful summer day; the sky was a beautiful shade of blue as he enjoyed himself by his apartment complex's pool.
As he gazed up into the sky, he suddenly thought he spotted something odd, although it could have been nothing more than one of those squiggle bugs that show up in your eye's vision.
As he looked back down at the pool he saw it again, that odd flash coming from thousands of feet in the air among the clouds. It was at that moment that Brigatti was smart enough to grab his phone and start recording. Make sure to wait for the :21 mark, that's when things really get crazy!
In the video you'll see the incredible phenomenon occur
While we may never be sure, the scientific explanation of these types of events is that it is simply the clouds holding in a lightning discharge, which changes the electric field above the cloud. This change excites the ice crystals in the cloud, which redirects the reflection of the sun, causing it to appear as if a giant flaming finger is dancing in the sky. When the electric charge dissipates, the crystals re-orient themselves, causing the "jump" back to the original location.
