As they used to say: suck it & see.i.e.Experiment:
Arrange to blow a bulb in light on similar weather day at same place & time & film or video it. If same streak results well & good & all Slashdot scienists, philosophers & assorted jokers can shut up. If no streak keep repeating experiment till get one as this joker thinks you're certain to get it sooner or later, depending on weather.
To blow bulb: switch power off, screw in a coin under bulb(in my day for house lights it used to be a sixpenny piece)switch power on -- beautiful flash!!! But another coin will do If Oz iz out of 6d pieces, or a correctly folded piece of silver paper.
If you have friends at the local power station, municipal/port/park electricity switch the on/off problem is easy, if not then interest the local/world media & it may come to pass. But for God's sake shut up & try it.
Surely - lightbulb "blew" (exploded, formed a minimininova) & threw shadow of lampstandard, lampshade or whatever, UP into sky through evening mist; thus making the mist visible.
The principle being that sparrows are more common than canaries, perhaps even in Oz.
Question now - why did the bulb "blow"?
