Lightening, or Scalar Weapon?

[guohua]

This short video shows a car being hit by... something.  Was it lightening, or a scalar weapon?

Doesn't a car being grounded by the tires usually protect people from being hit by lightening? Why didn't it hit a higher target? Isn't that what lightening usually does?

And, notice the strike is not jagged like a lightening bolt. 

Were these people in the car being targeted? 

And where did all those people come from all of a sudden? Was this another 'staged' event?

Another question... why was the person behind the camera filming this particular car when this happened? 
Was he filming proof of someone's death?
Looks like they failed this time, if that was their intention.

Play the video and Pause at the 03. second mark and click it to just before the 04 second mark and see the actual strike, it doesn't look like a bolt of lighting to me.
