Well, it actually could have been the wing light. I, personally, lean more toward St. Elmo's Fire.

Would've been cool, had it been ball lightning. I've heard it's really rare.

I was once flying into Miami on a 737, and I was on the aisle next to two nubile young lovelies. The entire flight was rather rough, but I maintained my macho exterior(while fighting the exhaustion of holding my gut in for 2.5 hours) until our approach for landing. I glanced over to the window and saw brightly illuminated smoke. I let out the most un-manly girly scream imaginable, illiciting raised eyebrows from my two seatmates. Realizing that they weren't in the least bit concerned I raised up a bit to get a better view out of the window only to realize that we were on the wing, passing through a cloud, and the pilot had turned the landing lights on. I prefer road trips.
