 lightning - Definitions from Dictionary.com
Lightning may appear as a jagged streak, as a bright sheet, or in rare cases, as a glowing red ball.
Initially, a bolt of lightning carrying a negative charge darts from one storm cloud to another or from a storm cloud to the ground, leaving the bottom of the cloud with a positive charge.
In response, a second bolt (reverse lightning) shoots in the opposite direction (from the other storm cloud or the ground) as the mass of negative charges on it moves back to neutralize the positive charge on the bottom of the first cloud.

 Lightning Bug (2004) - A Review by David Nusair
Lightning Bug is purportedly based on the real-life childhood experiences of writer/director Robert Hall, and while the filmmaker does a nice job of imbuing the story with a palpable sense of authenticity, Hall's closeness to the material results in supporting characters that are decidedly less-than-convincing.
This is particularly true of the adults in the film, the majority of whom are painted with exceedingly broad strokes (a problem that's exacerbated by a few unreasonably over-the-top performances).
About the DVD: Lightning Bug arrives on DVD courtesy of Anchor Bay Entertainment, and along with a letterboxed transfer, the disc includes a good amount of bonus features (two commentary tracks, outtakes, a lengthy behind-the-scenes featurette, deleted scenes, a music video, a trailer, and a gallery of stills).

  [4.0] The Lightning Bug Reconnaissance Drones   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
A series of reconnaissance drones derived from the Firebee, known generally as "Lightning Bugs", were used by the US to spy on Vietnam, China, and North Korea in the 1960s and early 1970s.
The high-altitude Lightning Bugs had been painted fl, but since that was a high-visibility color at low altitude, the Model 147Js were painted gray on top and white underneath.
It is something of a compliment to the usefulness of the Model 147 that the Chinese used the Lightning Bugs shot down over their territory to copy the basic Firebee design and produce it themselves.

 IGN: Godzilla: Unleashed - Roster Vote
Design Process: The Lightning Bug is a genetically-engineered cyborg developed from a host of insect DNA and grafted with a multi-alloy chassis by a hostile alien race.
Lightning Bug's design was a combination of the armor from EVA-01 of Neon Genesis Evangelion fame and the bioluminescent appearance of the Drej from Titan A.E. The cyborg's chief offensive capabilities are based on its incredible capacity for raw energy as well as its unique ability to absorb ambient energy from its surroundings.
Lightning Bug's energy core is located in its constantly glowing tail while its large wings can generate a tremendous amount of power when raised to produce a massive blast of energy.

 Bug writing guidelines - MDC
Like you, Mozilla QA (Quality Assurance) wants your bug reports to result in bug fixes; the more effectively a bug is reported, the more likely that an engineer will actually fix it.
Bugzilla will automatically assign the bug to a default engineer based on the component when you submit the bug report; this text box lets you manually assign it to a different engineer.
If you've isolated the bug to a specific HTML snippet, please also provide a URL for that, too or, preferably, return to the bug after you've submitted it and add the HTML snippet as an attachment.

Alternating between endearing and frightening, Lightning Bug is fairly enjoyable and a strong debut.
But the journey itself in Lightning Bug is the selling point of the film, and it is very apparent that this is a very personal and heart-felt labor of love for the director and crew.
For the most part, Lightning Bug comes across as an optimistic tale of youthful triumph, but this is unfortunately offset by a few niggling annoyances.

We sometimes mutilated the bugs looking for the secret to the flash, but were never able to find it.
They seemed somewhat earlier this year than normal, perhaps because an unusually warm spring aided with the hatching of the glowworms and the maturing of the fireflies, who are actually beetles with two pairs of wings, and not flies at all.
