This was an interesting effect of lightning on a carbon fiber fishing rod. One time I used a propane torch on a golf club made of carbon fiber to melt
off the binder. The fibers just sort of glowed after all the low temperature material was burned off.

recalling to have heard that lightning does not come from the sky but rather from the ground (in this case the water) then goes upwards to the skies
ohwell i could be wrong, its the news after all (!)
pretty interesting story tho, seems... very weird...
wonder what the material would be.. it would still be carbon, if it was carbon.. but surely something happened to itChemosynthesis - 30-3-2014 at 10:42

Shortest answer is it doesn't matter if the lightning starts at the ground or the cloud. The current travels through the object and possibly the
person. It doesn't matter much to the dead guy if it started on the ground or in the sky.
