that is so cool dude

Mini black holes possible in our upper atmosphere? Anti matter? Wow, there is a lot going on close to home. So much has been discovered since I was studying astronomy and physics in school. I starred and flagged you. This thread deserves more attention, even if it seems most of us don't know what to make of it. I'm just a humble housewife. But I appreciate learning more and being able to tell the children these things that are so far removed from what passed for basic earth sciences knowledge when I was young.

Even a tiny, simple static charge could generate X-Rays... A little more energy than that and you get the next level of radiation - Gamma Rays!

Someone, (I can't remember the amateur experimenter's name) some time ago, tried to detect gamma rays from a 30,000 volt ion generator setup(exceedingly tiny compared to lightning!) and he indeed detected a little amount of gamma radiation!

It shouldn't be a surprise that high voltage discharges can generate Gamma Rays. But antimatter in lightning is quite a new discovery! But it would be much harder to detect though, probably too much for an amateur experimenter.
