[@Barbaroossa]

Lightnings in such cloudy days with such dark and omnipotent clouds are the most beautiful spectacle in nature.

[@Schmeeky455]

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

[@legojoey17]

That is AWESOME... Best slow motion.

[@TheBaschtl]

Great footage. Thanks for the upload.

[@DontKillFingers]

I always go outside when it lightning!!! I love it!:P

[@frimerke]

Thanks :D that was great. And yeah, tv turning on would be cool, an old fashioned one not a flat screen.

[@narnianhero]

@RichinGunz The camera is actually capturing electricity (the lightning), not light, on film . There is a difference.

[@mellocamilo]

So many ways...but just one is the big discharge!!! BANG!!!

[@crookedmouthdj]

That's wicked,I've always wanted to shoot slo mo lightning,did you use a Fantom or some other type of high speed camera?

[@sneakysoviet9]

@Gyrorobot Yes, but did you ALSO know that the lightning actually travels from the ground to the cloud, rather than the cloud to the ground?

[@woweezman04]

that is really cool looking!

[@DaDASHDevil]

thanks luccas, thats what i thought :) im a physicist student myself by the way, so i am well known with the concept of waves etcetera. i was just wondering if the concept of lightning would be any different; the conditions are a lot more extreme. duivel114: yes youre right, the water molecules just pass on the movement to each other and almost stay in the same place (however, they start making a circular movement). oh, im from holland too by the way ;)

[@cooliesass]

I like the second section at 300%. Great work, thanks for posting!

[@ScorpionNani]

i thought that lightning go down at the speed of light and cientist though that too but this porvest that it doesnt...its an xtrordinary phenomenome!

[@Aeromodelismo91]

Great video

[@Aquarianjoi]

i tried it....that was pretty awesome!

[@JumpStop1]

that was crazy cool

[@SonVinhTien]

that is so awesome!!

[@xkrislox]

that was way cool.

[@dlinkk]

@96goggles its not the same place. the lightning you're seeing is probably taking places miles and miles away. from that distance, it may look like the lightning is hitting about the same place sometimes, but the distance between them was actually most likely enormous

[@ThejohnGould]

thats soo awesome

[@RichinGunz]

wow i cant belive its possible cause i always thought your camera's fps have to match the speed is light in order to capture every frame of it

[@willydstyle]

The air is HIGHLY resistant though. So much so that a static-electricity spark from your hand to a door knob is 35,000 volts, but very little amperage. So no, those lightning bolts are not traveling at "the speed of light" or anywhere near it.

[@Dkells88]

I wish i was there so i could harness the power and bring life to my frankenstein creature.

[@peinvsme]

at 0:32 when the lighting traveled down from the clouds, it looked like firecrackers about to explode into colors, except that firecrackers go from the ground up and then explode =S weird stuff

[@Volound]

i was thinking, what a load of superstitious bullshit, but then i checked and noticed it. quite cool.

[@Nebelvir123987]

still fast :-D

[@crazypete3]

lighting is just static electricity from the earth and sky like rubbing your feet on carpet and touching something sometimes they come from the ground or the sky

[@Gyrorobot]

actually no, because in the video you are not watching how fast the light moves you are wathing the electricity in it's path move. the light that you see is the instant it happens, you are not looking at a light beam shooting you watching lighting strike.

[@Karmidzhanov92]

@1PATRI0T i tnink these "fingers" are kind of "searching" a way to pass the charge to the earth and when one of them finds, all charge is released threw this finger

[@Nelly_B]

it is the electric current traveling, not light. Electrical current travels slower than light.

[@MrLehi99]

So much for edison.

[@frog654456]

theory of relativity light travels at the same speed for every1 and u cant go the speed of light because the faster u go the more mass u gain in order to travel at the speed of light u would need infinite propulsion and u cant add velocity to light

[@IKeiichiroI]

lol epic

[@zekigngr06]

it 's crazy greez of germany

[@HumbertoAmorim17]

Lightning might come from the ground to the sky or the opposite way

[@vivtin]

wow! a 81K for a house! I live in the bay area and even a house that's not very nice costs up to 800K!

[@vivtin]

it looks like there are two things going on. It looks like in a bolt of lightning there is first a jolt that goes down at sub light-speed and then the main bolt which goes at the speed of light, and is impossible to capture moving on any camera. Weird. if anyone knows what is really going on please tell me, i'm interested!!!

[@bakeee]

i thot lightning traveled from the ground up

[@imitebwrong]

If experts say lightning strikes from ground up, how do they explaine sheet lightning? Does somebody throw a sheet of light up in the air?? :(

[@BugOutSurvivalNRS]

wtf? at the speed of light? were do u live? the lightning goes up to Mach 1 its about 1100kph to 1200kph the bang u heare is that bang when the lightning breacks Mach 1 like a jet nothing else!

[@intheshitter]

Fantasticness

[@parkourninj4]

Just because there is a demand for power and electricity doesn't mean he's making it up, it IS overpopulated, why else do you think it's so hard for kids to get apprenticeships?

[@ForRealElf]

Dipsroves the speed of light too then

[@aquaanger]

@bench175 in some cases they do, still a mystery

[@righteousblaze]

@Brittsaysrawr it does....

[@HippocraticDev]

Zuez must be angry again......

[@drumrdude707]

that was so fucking cool =)

[@ultraslo]

I have posted over 500 slow motion videos for you to enjoy. They have been viewed millions of times! How many have you seen? Enjoy

[@magmablock]

the lightning still looks fast

[@ultraslo]

@JAMxSkalla16 Read the information above. but we did cut out a lot of dead space between the flashes. It was one event that took a few seconds to happen. Enjoy

[@ultraslo]

a lot of companies advertise on my web site. the best camera is from vision research. they start at around 20K and go up from there to 150K. Good luck

[@ultraslo]

Thank you for your thoughtful input but you are misstaken. I have better things to do than fake a clip. Enjoy

[@ultraslo]

Casio makes a sub 1000 camera but it is low resolution. Fun but not quite there yet.

[@bench175]

I knew my teachers were lying when they said lightning actually travels upward.

[@ultraslo]

The whole thing took under one second how much do you expect the clouds to move?

[@ScorpionNani]

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow 5* best vid

[@ultraslo]

That is what I thought I would see. I would be happy to hear answers.

[@ultraslo]

@LeafMaster510 It was under a second that took months to catch.

[@DaDASHDevil]

many ppl think that electrons in wires move with the speed of light, since u can send data through it really fast, similar to the speed of light. the thing is, in wires electrons move only a few centimeters per second (!). im wondering how fast electrons move in lightning though, anyone got an estimation? only answer when u know what ure talking about, please :)

[@sicilian12345]

OK who ever disputes the fact this video is fake is INSANE! In a mature thunderstorm the top of the anvil is all Ice,hail, and snow, which all have a positive charge while the base of the storm(rain drops) have a negative charge. the updraft blows all this matter around in the middle of the storm creating lightning. ALSO negative stepped leaders from the base of the storm travel down and cause positive "streamers" to rise and which ever one it connects to first creates the strike.

[@BerryTheBnnuy]

Lightning isn't an object to be seen. We only see lightning when it superheats the atmosphere. It has nothing to do with the speed at which it travels. And to be honest, lightning doesn't travel. There is, however, a charge that flows through the atmosphere at a speed of roughly 93,000. Light travels at 670,616,629 miles per hour. Do people ever bother looking things up when they post these things? Or do they just assume that because they learned it in elementary school that it must be correct?

[@ChrisLesmerises]

Yes, but the emit you speak of does not form a single tracer from points A and C to point B (A ia cloud, C is ground tracer, and B is the point at which they meet.) The light travels from point A and point C towards point B linearly at the speed in which the electricity heats the surround air to a bright white emission of light. Basically the source of the light grows at a "slow" speed compared to the speed the electrons are flowing at. :D

[@TwistLosi]

@Enriquehack You have obviously never seen big lightning crawlers traveling large distances in the sky which can easily be seen moving by the naked eye, it's the same thing shown here but these bolts are only traveling short distances so to the naked eye it looks like 1 big instant light path which it is not.

[@BerryTheBnnuy]

Dada, electrons don't actually move very fast at all in either wires or the sky. They bump the electrons in the neighboring atoms. It's a wave, not a flow. Think of it like sound. The air molecules don't carry the sound, they just vibrate to the sound wave. Same sort of thing happens with electricity with whatever its conducting through.

[@ChrisLesmerises]

You're not seeing the electricity, which does start from tracers in the ground that reach out toward the sky. You're seeing the heat spent as the highly charged clouds send their charge into the ground. Remember electricity is invisible, and light you see from electricity comes from the charging or overheating of particles in the path of the electricity.

[@ISamuelII]

"not watching how fast the light moves you are wathing the electricity in it's path move. " I was taught the electron path moves from the ground up in G2C strikes and the flash is made after contact is grounded. Some of these look like falling spliting objects burning up but we know better.

[@Fizzo20]

Lightning does travel from the ground up, at 0:16 you see it come from the sky... it starts out coming from the sky but when you see the bright flash, after that is when the lightning goes back up from the ground. The naked human eye can only capture it going from the ground up.

[@BerryTheBnnuy]

It can, but it's extremely rare for it to climb from the ground to the sky. EXTREMELY rare. This is one of those "the sky is blue because it reflects the ocean" kind of things. Complete and total bullshit but people spread it anyway.

[@ChrisLesmerises]

Lightning does not travel at the speed of light my friend. Electricity travels at a speed much slower, that is slowed even more by the conductivity (or lack there of) of the medium through which it is traveling.

[@dylf14]

uummm..... lightning goes down but i read in most cases an opposite strike from the ground connects with it b4 it hits the ground....ya i think its real..... we will never actually know though...

[@easymac79]

I liked the eighth strike. - next to last, i believe 300% slow down. Try one at 275% or 250, it was a bit slow and you could notice the camera lag.

[@iTehTunePawd]

So what you're saying a random bolt of electricity shoot out from the dirt? I don't think so. It's caused by static electricity in the rising hot air.

[@MrPacMan36]

what camera do you guys or do you use? and how much was it lol... I bet a lot

[@ultraslo]

@Formuluh No it is Manhasset bay

[@devlin1991]

very nice. I love how you can see the first bunch come down then ONE connects and BANG. can you do one of the hot girl jumping xD

[@mikey16piet]

@Gyrorobot So, the speed of light is roughly 2600x faster than lightning?

[@emzirek]

Even at this speed it's difficult to see. The way lightning works is all those "feelers" reaching out, try to "connect" with another body(cloud, earth, plane) to discharge extra energy. The cloud is negatively charged and sends out these "feelers" and the positively charged body "releases" electrons by sending out "feelers, too. The path where the "feelers are closest to touching is the path of least resistance and all energy(mostly) goes that path to ground out. Basically going up to the cloud.

[@poopsyproductions]

Yeah i've seen you spread this comment all over the place. You want to sound smart, but you left out a lot. Point is, lightning can go from the ground up, hardly ever. It can go from cloud-cloud, cloud-ground, ground-cloud. So, there's also there is different types, heat lightning, that's when it's too far away to be heard. Sheet lightning is the cloud-cloud lightning. Staccato is when it has all these branches. Most strikes are negative. A return stroke is simply the second, or third flash

[@oyayebye2]

Dear hexdrill... i'm not sure it is need to answer your questions, but i think you are not going to check if somebody have ansvered...but if i'm wrong here You are.... firstly the lighting doesn't hit the ground, it is weird but, from the sky, and from the earth two lightings appears and go throught each other. This sky one is much longer. While they meet the sound is released by the air warmed, and cooled back abruptly.

[@robotichivemind]

lightning can do either. Lightning results in atmospheric pressure differences causing an imbalance in charge between the earth and the cloud cover. Depending on which side of the sky-ground equation has the higher charge that's where the lightning strike will "originate" from. That's why you can have cloud-to-cloud strikes. If one "section" of cloud has a greater difference in charge from another "section" that's where the strike will happen. So there you go.

[@koimaxx]

actually there are several types of lightning... one of the most common is whats called cloud-to-ground lightning where the lead stroke originates from the cloud towards the ground. the clip is an example of it. i guess what youre referring would be the return stroke of the lightning coming from the ground up which is the very short but very bright flashes also seen in this clip. hope ive made it relatively clear. peace

[@DiogoMST]

hum... i heard that lightning happens when 2 strikes collide. I mean, part of the lightning comes from the clouds, and the other part comes from the ground. If it happens that they get together, then a lightning is formed. Truly we just see the downward lightning, but perhaps that doesn't mean it's fake. And it's possible to have more than one strike per second. Unlikely, but can happen.

[@Gyrorobot]

@enriquehack - just so you know lighting itself does not travel at the speed of light. light = about 186,000 mps (miles per second). where as lighting = is about 260,000 mph (72 mps)....... Lightning creates light but is an exchange of energy and is, therefore subject to friction so it does not travel the speed of light.

[@Avezyyy]

mmm noooo? conventional current flows from positive to negative (i.e. ground-up) however real current (consisting of free electrons) flows from negative to positive (cloud to ground). The opposite is the case for positive lightning (not shown in this video). At least this is what i get taught in physics classes...

[@Audi2000t]

to all those who say lightining comes from the sky you are absolutely wrong.... it is in fact that electricity which is lightining comes from the ground up.. yes im an electrician. its called electron flow... negative charge actually flows to positive, but we are taught the conventional flow which is positive to negative

[@telboy1966manu]

That's pretty damn good! Excellent vid! However, I remember reading somewhere that lightning actually travels upwards from the ground to the clouds and it's supposed to be an optical illusion which makes us think it's the other way round. Certainly looks like it's going downwards in this vid. Now I don't know what to think!!

[@SlavaVB]

seems like the charges in the clouds are forced down as they ionize air while repelling from each other and the winner creates the most permeable electric field path and all the others back track or jump across to the main stream and bond from the high current magnetic field that pulls them together and fights the electric field repulsion

[@NateMcL]

@Kunnonkansalainen Buddy. This video is in slow motion. Lightning takes place in a split second. In order for the lightning to be show this slow, the video has to be slowed down immensely. Since the video is so slow, the clouds will not appear to be moving. Now shut up, and go to school or something.

[@Ranma1981]

@brainbug1643187942 From what I know from science class....when the charge is attracted to the ground it moves down to earth, following different paths of lowest resistance until it finds the ground and now a full electrical path is created and the electrical energy is pulled quickly to the ground.

[@MrSquirrels]

Just because you can change the battery in your car doesn't mean you're an electrician. "Bolts from the blue" are positive to negative charge lightning strikes, and are anvil-to-ground. So saying lightning doesn't come from the sky makes you wrong... partially.

[@pinkyy3]

Havent any of you heard of google or wikipedia ? LOL Look it up, there are different kinds of lightening, some dont even touch the ground at all! So quit your squabbling over it! Geez..... I think this video looks real, I dont know why all of you are saying it isnt...

[@boonw]

Just to help some people understand, the initial crackling you hear when lighting strikes is the electricity spreading out trying to find the ground. When one of branches touches the ground, the charges race back to the column which that branch was in and rush into the ground causing the big flash.

[@SlavaVB]

I think this video explains how ball lightning can also form... maybe ball lightning is one of those streammers in a condition where none of them break all the way through to the ground... but then again theres gotta be something to power the plasma afterwards

[@callmm]

sorry but you're wrong. lightning can come from the sky, from the ground or meet in the middle. this is because the cloud can be either negatively charged or positively charged depending on the alignment of electrons in the cloud.

[@MrSquirrels]

Stupid comment like that? What I said was true. Look up positive lightning. And the car battery thing was a joke genius. I'm going on 6 years as a crew chief on a ch-53e... I'll pass on wasting 4 years in an overpopulated profession.

[@Audi2000t]

there is always a demand for power and electricity, so where your getting this "over populated profession" is entirely your own personal idea. no need to reply to this comment your conversation leads nowhere.

[@SadCarnage1224]

what it is the lightening made in the sky by condensed molecules by the clouds and when those molecules fall they split and form into lightening,lightening is said to be faster speed of sound thats amazin to me

[@JAMxSkalla16]

was that actually unedited real time that u just slowed down? so there were like 3 bolts every 10 seconds

[@frankyjayhay]

A clever way to prevent a lightning strike would be to hold a very long metal pole up to the cloud to conduct the electricity down to earth but of course you wouldn't get such a spectacular display.
