It's what happens when the wind blows in the Arizona
desert when the humidity is low and there's not a
cloud in the state. There are hundreds of reports
on the web of such a phenomenon. Example:

And it happens in inland Southern California with Santa Ana winds.

....and it happens here in humid Georgia, and in dry Georgia, and in
Ohio in summer and winter. There doesn't need to be a particle in
sight.

We are talking about antennas that have virtually no charge when
the wind is not blowing and acquire charge when the wind blows
charged particles across the antenna.

It is something that you have apparently never seen are are
therefore completely ignorant of.
