That 7 second video of a small rocket shot into a cloud to induce a lightning strike (about half way down the article) is incredible.

Any ideas why the lightning strike appears mostly green (and momentarily purple and orange)?
I'm imagining it's something related to the copper wire.
I always wanted to replicate this with a helium balloon and a long, wet string coated with copper filings.
just in case you missed it, all matter carrys a charge, and all space(and matter) has energy radiating through it, making the universe an energy gradient.
sometimes you can see it happening.
