1896 What is the lightning?

1896 June 17, in southern France, two workers were in a shed to prevent lightning and rain. A flash of lightning unexpectedly "hit" their shelter, and both of them fell to the ground.

Lightning "opened" one of the men's shoes and tore his pants. But the most striking thing is another situation: Lightning seems to be a skilled photographer, who took excellent "photos" of pine trees, poplars and the belt tied by the man on the dead man's arm.

Camille. Fran Marion, after analyzing this situation, put forward an idea that the shed where people who died of lightning stayed might become a photography studio, and lightning played a "perspective" role. But this assumption can't explain why there is such a strange "selectivity" when shooting: because only some objects are "shot" and only from the surrounding landscape. Similarly, the phenomenon of taking pictures through clothes is also puzzling.

1In September, 823, a sailor was killed by lightning. At that time, he was sitting on the deck of a sailboat moored in Amirault Bay, close to the mast. Along his back, from his neck to his thigh, a line was burned. At the end of the line, a clear horseshoe-shaped figure could be seen. The horseshoe was nailed to the mast, just above the sailor's head.

The most tragic example of this situation is another. A little boy climbed up a tree to dig a bird's nest for eggs. He was punished: the tree was struck by lightning, and the image of the tree he climbed was clearly branded on the chest of the boy lying on the ground. There was a resting bird on the branch and a nest next to it. All this is clear.

On July 1892 and 19, two black people were killed by lightning while sheltering from the rain under a tree in Helen Park, Pennsylvania.

When people took off their clothes from the dead, a shocking spectacle appeared in front of the funeral home manager: the natural scenery in the corner of the lightning position was left on the chest of the dead, and this photo was absolutely convincing. There is also a dry brown oak leaf on it, and fern grass is hidden in the grass, which is slightly different from grass, and it is also a little brown. The images of leaves and ferns are so clear that even the smallest tendons can be seen with the naked eye.

After about 4 hours, the "photo" began to blur and turned into purple spots. There are various phenomena related to lightning. For example, on July 24th, 1852, some dried leaves of San Vicente (Cuba) discovered the images of palm huts and their scenes. In another place, Sibakoya, located on the same island,1August, 823, lightning branded the image of a bent nail on the trunk. Ann? Boeyi added that this is a copy of the nail nailed into the branch on the top of the same tree, and the image reproduction is absolutely accurate, but it is upside down.

There is also a more amazing phenomenon-images are printed under the skin. For example, in 18 12, six sheep were killed by lightning in the fields near oak and hazel trees in Kambuhai (Somerset). When people peel off their fur, more precisely, they will find some realistic images of the surrounding scenery in the fur. Many years after 100, this happened again in South Carolina in February of 197 1. There's a Jesse in Jefferson City, right? Ballet dancers go out hunting and take the killed rabbits home. When his wife began to cook dinner for him, she found (and their friends present at this time can also testify) that there was a profile of a black woman on one of the front feet of their skinned rabbit. The cross section of the image is 2.5 cm: slightly pursed lips, curly hair and long eyelashes-exactly the same as modern girls in the 20th century.

At present, no one can give a reasonable explanation for why lightning leaves patterns on people or animals and plants. Only after scientific research will we draw a conclusion.
