I'm amazed at how quiet it is, makes perfect sense. It's JUST enough ambient voltage to cause valence shell photon release, but not much more - so an ambient buzz at most. Miniature lightning, far less intense. I can also understand how they suspected St Elmo's fire caused the Hindenburg disaster.

Wow, I didn't think this effect had ever been photographed before!

I flew KC-135's as a boom for 5 years. I have seen St Elmo's fire 3 times. It's gods way of telling you you are flying to close to a lightning strike. The best(or worst) I've seen was over Canada someplace near Goose Bay. The entire F-4 I was refueling was covered entirely with light blue electrical fingers. It even extended up to our tankers boom and even covered my pilots windscreens. It was very bright then but, as this was at night in a thunder storm, it probably would not have been be seen in daylight.

​@@jimvandeven9732Science is only a method to understand God's creation.

I was a young Boom Operator in a KC-135 when I observed a purple lighting bolt spread across the wind screens on both sides. It scared the crap out of me. It worked itself around and inside the aircraft fell to the deck in a large purple ball in the cockpit. Then it rolled down the cargo compartment and disappeared above the boom compartment in the tail of the aircraft. I asked the pilots what the hell was that?? They laughed at me and said St Almos fire. I seen it many times after that in over 3500 hours of flying time. Mostly in the clouds. Seen it run down the boom into the receiver aircraft and other places about the aircraft. Funny stuff now. But the first time is still in my brain😳😜🧐

this looks to be technically a different phenomenon from St Elmo's fire, it appears to be static charge building on the windshield frame arcing to the rest of the plane. St elmo's fire to my knowledge is a more stable phenomenon where the vessel in contact with the ground is essentially a plasma build up at a point displaying the differential between atmospheric and ground charge.

@hyparh

You're absolutely right. St Elmo's fire is a persistent corona discharge (bluish-purple glow of ionized air around sharp metal points) and this here is lightning-like discharging by very fast build up of static electricity.

As I was in the spare jumpseat, I was treated to a great light show up next to the airplane with St Elmo's Fire, and all the lightning flashing in the storms in the distance.

You have to keep in mind that the pilots have a job to do and that is to get to their destination safely and therefore need to keep their eyes on the instruments and do what they have to do. They cant be distracted by such a phenomena. I believe this was shortly after takeoff so they have stuff to do.

This was during the wet, tropical storm time of the year around December.

It's basically static electricity built up that needs to discharge somehow. It's similar to when you rub your shoes or socks on the floor, then touch a metal doorknob.....just on a larger scale...lol. If you look at the wing tips, on the back part of the wings, you may see some yellow protrusions. Those also dissipate static electricity.
