As expected, the shocking footage astonished netizens on the platforms where the video was shared, however, many comments also denied the credibility of the event, sparking a controversy on networks.

Very similar to the movie “The War of the Worlds”, in the video you can see and hear the brief moment when the impact reaches the palm tree. This recording was documented by Jonathan Moore, who told local media that he was working in his garden a few meters from the palm tree, when he heard the lightning strike .

In some of the most favorable theories from netizen states that, this type of phenomenon corresponds to the ” blue ray ” or “ray out of nowhere” explanation, however, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration believes that it was a flash of clouds. These are characterized by traveling a long distance up during clear skies, before descending.

This type of “natural whims” have surprised humanity since the beginning of time, since they are unpredictable and despite the enormous space, sometimes they hit people or objects.
