I don’t think it’s lightning. Rather, it’s electrical/static discharge off the windscreens due to the surrounding atmospheric conditions. The windscreens are continually heated by AC power and I’m sure that generates some type of reaction to create this phenomenom. Not an engineer, so that just BARELY scratches the surface…


This is correct.

Years ago I worked for FedEx in Memphis. I signed up to take the jump seat to Chicago to see the girl who is now the Mrs. Two seats were available and three people wanted them. I was getting bumped because I had the least seniority. As I was leaving, the captain offered me the engineer’s empty seat. I got to do the whole trip in the cockpit of an A-380. It was raining and I did get to see St. Elmo’s fire streak across the windscreen several times. What a memory! Thanks for sharing the video.
