How else do you explain a number of people getting struck by lightning when there are no clouds in the sky?

In a similar incident, 35 people were taken to the hospital on Saturday afternoon after lightning struck a children’s soccer match in western Germany.

Three adults were seriously injured in the incident Saturday afternoon in Hoppstaetten, including the referee. Another 32 people, among them 30 children aged from nine to 11, were taken to the hospital as a precaution, the dpa news agency reported.

The game had just finished when lightning struck suddenly at about 2 p.m., police spokesman Dominik Lentz told n-tv television.

He says “according to what everyone present says, there were no clouds in the sky … so that this incident couldn’t have been expected.”

US Air Force has already stated they can control the weather, and they're probably not the only ones with that ability. The conspiracy is over.

Can't you produce electricity using potatoes?  There's a connection here.

Halliburton has been working years to fine tune this

[SIZE=12pt]Bolt from the Blue
A bolt from the blue (sometimes called 'anvil lightning' or 'anvil-to-ground' lightning) is a name given to a cloud-to-ground lightning discharge that strikes far away from its parent thunderstorm. A 'bolt from the blue' typically originates in the highest regions of a cumulonimbus cloud, traveling horizontally a good distance away from the thunderstorm before making a vertical descent to earth. Due to the final strike point being a significant distance from the storm (sometimes up to ten miles away), these lightning events can occur at locations with clear 'blue' skies overhead - hence the name.
