Based on mathematical models, the Open University of Israel has discovered that the rays have a certain connection between them. In fact, they have used the theory of networks, a field of mathematics which is used to analyze relationships between individuals.
According to this study, there are several main lightning conductors, which when active are also activated (or previously activated) other bulbs. Therefore, they have a certain relationship.
For the research, images from the space that were collected by the Columbia probe have been used. In fact, from space and looking to Earth, several astronauts have considered that the rays interact with each other, even though there were many kilometers between them.
Now it is about to see how this relationship occurs physically between rays: some believe that the key is in the electrons that release the ray, others in the electromagnetic waves... As you see, there is something to investigate.
