This short video appears to catch the 'stepped leader' of electrons, coming down from a discharging cloud, connecting with a positive streamer coming from something on the surface of the earth. When that connection is made, it is like closing a switch to a circuit, and we see the bright flash of what we would see as the lightning bolt. Very cool!! And remember that the current will be on order of 10,000-15,000 Amperes.
