I first observed this phenomenon around 1994.
The first space lightning picture he shows around 30 seconds and again at 2:45, it did hit the ground, you just can't see it because that thunder storm is well over 100 miles away and there's clouds obscuring the cloud to ground portion.
At 1:19 he shows a better picture, it's a long exposure but gives a better representation of what's going on.
I have sketchy Internet and wireless, some times videos cut out part way through.
I have seen the event shown at 2:25 from the ground before about November of 2012.
Looks like they're not always dependent on thunderstorms, just most of the time.
