It’s a controlled experiment, FYI. That’s a lightning rod device out on the water.

Edit: ha, did a quick reverse image search and I had the top comment on a prior post. Thanks, me!

“Very cool. Photographer is Peter Metzel. It’s an induced lightning strike along a copper wire from a rocket.

Rocket-triggered lightning launch site at Mosquito Lagoon near Cape Canaveral (Kennedy Space Center), Florida. Shooting a rocket into overhead thundercloud causes a lightning strike. A fine copper wire trailing from the rocket creates a path for the cloud's electric charge. (1991)”
