Apparently ConEd now can apply to the Guiness Book of Records for largest arc light ever :-) I really enjoyed some of the twitter comments, "Astoria Borealis", "Amazon HQ corner stone", and "Somebody in Queens better have super powers after this!"

The event itself though is a really interesting example of 21st century phenomena observation. Much like the meteor over Chelyabinsk, so much video from a bunch of nearby cameras (dash cam's in Russia and smartphones in New York), it creates an amazing amount of raw data that people can sift through to try to figure out what is going on.
