Thunderstorm developed to the north east. using iphone on filmed in slow motion to capture the lightning flash i after a serious of flashes i stopped filming then began editing during editing i noticed 2 dark objects swooping down from the sky toward the general area beyond the trees. the objects were about 20 seconds apart it wasn't until i tried to capture the lightning strike by going frame by frame that i noticed another dark object swoop down in a slight curve and then the lightning struck. the object appear to merge with the flash and indeed flowed the same general path of the lightning. the path of the lightning and the objects were in the same target area beyond the trees these objects are not visible when video is played at normal speed
