Fascinating to say the least! This is the first video I have found showing real st elmos fire on youtube beside those showing sparks on plane-windows ..too bad it wasn´t dark! ;)
This same thing happened to me on top of Moro Rock in Sequoia National Park when I was a kid. The metal railing around the top of the rock shocked me every time I touched it and my hair was standing on end. There was a storm brewing a couple miles away and they closed the trail soon after I walked down.
You should read the book "Lightning, Auroras, Nocturnal Lights and related Luminous Phenomena" by William R. Corliss. This book gives an account of an eyewitness on Pike's Peak in 1882, who told how St. Elmos' Fire leaped onto his hand. Each of his fingers became tipped with "cones of light, three inches in length" This was preceded by a dense driving snow, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
it is harmless.. but it is also a preferable pattern for a possible forming static arc discharge... and if you are seeing plasma effects in the air, this also means that you are exactly in the wrong place :)
@ratratrat098 Oh yeah, it's all fun and games, till you get the bad luck of getting struck by lightning ;) It's highly recommended to get to lower parts when these things start to occur.. sure, nothing might happen, but are you really willing to take that risk? :)
Fascinating. I can only imagin that being windy, your hand was picking up some sort of static electicity, and this was being emmediately discharged to ground. The process likely resulted in a bit of RF which was picked up by your camera, unless this was audible by ear without electronics. I don't know. This is really weird. Thanks for sharing.
@SkySparkDanne Lol.. don't I know it.. planes and their teeny tiny lightning flashes.. BORING! lol.. This vid is legit, but even if it's dark, I doubt plasma would be streaming from his hand.. you'll need something pointier and preferably metal.. not to mention a high quality camera and lens able to record such low level light..

Saint Elmo's Fire doesn't burn you nor give you an electrical shock, and that's a fact.

From my fingers, too, such lights came out, so I agree with what you said.
wait there... let me grab my meters.... I need to have a look at the numbers
Cool!
Didn't knew that St. Elmo's Fire is harmless.

It is not only safe but also beneficial. It can even rejuvenate. There, induced blood is formed in the nails, like a stem cell.
This isn't corposant.
Looks like fairy dust

looks like great fun. :)

On my device, it also catches such sounds and this is definitely not radio frequency interference, but sound.
Neat
Oa

Danggg
Wow --location please??
We have such a place, I am also looking for such places, you can find out about it on my channel.

no. that's what it sounds like. The static is shooting through your fingers and makes the buzzing. :D
