When the original image was available, I reviewed it and saw no evidence of any lightning-like discharge.

In any case, the high-level lightning called "sprites" look even LESS like the image captured on film than does conventional lightning.

Regrettably, the image is not available to us to discuss, so the matter is essentially moot, other than the extensive and painstaking forensic evidence detailing exactly HOW and WHY the shuttle and its crew perished.

When you do have evidence that you are able to post, feel free to post it for our elucidation, but be prepared for a rigorous review of the "facts".
