I only see auras when a live actor is exceptionally good. At some point it becomes buzzy and focused while Im watching, very much a visual thing, and not that I'm transported or such into the world of the perfomance. It's a performance, but credible, as that. I see some odd thing sometimes when I think someone is acting exceptionally well.

I guess I wonder more about what people thought of static electricity than lightning because it's such a small and intimate phenomenon. People would always have talked about lightning, it's more public.
