Wow! This gives new credibility to the person who took the picure of the shuttle with the "blue lightning bolts" around it.

Doesd sort of eerily go together doesn't it.

The picture with the bolt was dismissed as possibly being an anomaly of the camera lens, but the other theory was that the shuttle someohow passed through an electrical field that caused particles oppositely charged from the plasma around the shuttle to discharge.

A bolt of this type could explain the sudden loss of numerous electrical sensors and the subsequent breach of the hull.
