      Mauro,
      No, it did not resemble that picture. I am familiar with seeing lightning strkes in this area of sea and know what they look like.
      This was three dimensional and  maintained it´s position despite being struck many times. The electrical discharges did not penetrate the globe but flowed over the sides, obviously being displaced by the globe. The fact that I observed this process indicated to me, that the electrical discharge was being slowed down.  Also, I used my binoculars to get a better look and could see the globe still there between strikes. I have never seen lighning strike the same place every 2-3 minutes for a period of more than an hour until this.

     Could there have been some small structure out to see that was pulling down the strikes like a lightning rod or something? One of those bells on a bouy perhaps? Thats the only natural reason I can think of for repeated strikes in the same place.
