Unusual lights captured during a storm. What could this be? My brother snapped this photo with his iPhone 14 Pro and sent it to me at 3:00 AM during a terrifying electrical storm in Buenos Aires.
I suspect it might be a camera glitch, but I’m not sure.

It sounds like your brother captured something quite intriguing during that storm! Strange lights in the sky can often be attributed to several factors, including lens flare, reflections, or even lightning strikes. If the lights appear to be organized or have distinct shapes, they might not just be random artifacts from the camera.
Another possibility could be something atmospheric like transient luminous events, although these are fairly rare. Given the timing and the storm conditions, it’s also possible that the camera’s sensor was reacting to the intense light and energy from the storm, leading to unusual patterns.
If you suspect it’s a camera failure, you could compare this photo with others taken under clearer conditions to see if similar patterns appear. Otherwise, it might just be one of those mysterious occurrences that storms sometimes bring!
