What is that brightly lit thing floating at a tilted angle ominously in the sky?
Reflection
You're not supposed to see that... It's just the controls reflecting on the glass

This more than anything led to my drinking problem.
Sure picked a bad day to quit huffing glue.
what music is that?
Rufus Du Sol - Innerbloom
Solitude by m83 but a remix https://open.spotify.com/track/5SOA0gaKMMp9cgwn3nuwk7?si=x68QG8knSAO813-OJoz1CA&utm_source=copy-link
Flying over a volcanic ash cloud?
I’m pretty sure that this video is from my father in law’s flight (I sent it to him to confirm) and the flight was from Indy to O’Hare and was the result of tornado activity to the south
Can't do that, ash will tear up the engines.
They shut down every airport within the hemisphere when there’s ash in the air
Why the duck do you have to put stupid music in such videos?
Was gonna say that as well. Would be cool to hear their chatter here
Hey! Got any grapes?
Not even the right song! Growin' up, you don't see the writing on the wall...

Can’t even spring for Riders on the Storm

Completely wrong soundtrack…as the 80’s will prove!
Sound off crew represent. Seriously unless someone comments "that was way cooler with the sound on", you gotta keep that sound off.
Should have been St.Elmos Fire by John Parr minimum
Cool and scary af

I’m more concerned with the passengers that were witnessing this outside their plane window.
Passengers can’t see it because it’s attracted to the front of the plane.
Although harmless and amazing to look at I can't lie I would shit myself if I looked outside my window and saw that
These instances are probably the closest we can possibly get to understanding why religion formed in ancient times. If I experienced this on a plane, I would be unable to access any information source and would only have my senses to rely on. To cope with the initial fear I’d most likely think emotionally, then once it passes I’d be able to think rationally. I’d imagine a similar process in ancient times when experiencing phenomena that was unfamiliar and scary. It’s no wonder we created the gods as a coping and reasoning mechanism.
First pilot to witness this was expecting to land in 1848.
But landed in 2684
Man I sure hope they had their Gellar field turned on
Took me a second to realize that wasn’t the Helios moon base from borderlands in the window H
Nope!
'I saw St. Elmo's fire, splitting ions in the ether'. Always loved that track.
Swegle Studios is going to bust a nut when he sees this
I experienced it once at sea onboard a tanker southbound from NYC to the Gulf. It was bitter cold air and warm Gulf Stream water, so the effect was sea smoke (advection fog) during the day and saint elmos fire on the large radio antennae. I stood on the bridge wing for at least an hour just looking at it.

The real shocker is when a blue plasma ball ENTERS THE COCKPIT then dissipates.
Does this interfere with any of the instruments?
That looks like a simulator. Those are screens, not windows.
Amazing!!!!
I want to believe these videos. In the age where every company is obsessed with 4k cameras in your phone and a pilot with his salary doesn't have 1, I take this video with a grain of salt. For a while videos have been grainy and unsharp. We have to question why these videos look generated.
love so sharp and flat.
Song was neat, but lost your chance to actually play St. Elmo’s Fire, and now I’m old and shaking my cane at the neighbors.
All you need is a pair of wheels to be a man in motion
Those around me also witness this after I discharge 16 Coronas into my mouth

Every time I read that term, I see THIS
Very cool effect !!

Anyone remember the scene in Moby Dick where St Elmo’s Fire struck the Pequod?
Discharging luminous plasma from your corona sounds painful and awesome
Looks like a simulator, all the strikes are at the same angle, similar size, and don’t parallax at all.
Then why are the controls reflecting in the glass?
‘’Oh look, St Elmo fire !” While totally ignoring that he’s flying in a CB… 😅

I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher Gonna be your man in motion, all I need's this pair of wheels Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire (Ooh, oooh, oooh)
I will upload this on facebook and say its evidence of Alien intervention in Natural Catastrophes
Who’s fire
[removed]
The last thing you see before the windscreen goes opaque and the engines flame out because you flew into an volcanic ash cloud.

But who spilled the corona?
THE RIGHT TIME IS NOW dun dun dun dunnnn
Isn’t this just static? St Elmo’s fire is when the tips of the nose and wings glow with a plume of plasma. Same with the tips of masts of ships. Like the second picture here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St.\_Elmo%27s\_fire
Thought the panel reflection on the glass was some space station

Unfortunately this isn't st. elmos Many pilots mistake this for st elmos I have seen st. Elmos and its a unique phenomenon and i have experienced this. It a bluish streak of light from the fuselage ( radome - wing tips - fairings) and moving into dark light, meaning it starts from the fuselage and travels into the dark..
This is static discharge and not st Elmos!!
