To me it looks like a lightning strike that was conducted down through a cable of some sorts.
My question would be: why was the person filming? It must have been something they knew could happen, which is why I think it is likely a thunderstorm passing over.

Oh... 2 seconds of googling and I find this:

Building under construction (cabling) hit by thunderbolt.
You ever see an invisible lightning bolt?
No, me either.
Lightning bolts leave an after image, the lack of anything visible above the building is kinda suspicious, don't you think?
I suppose sheet lightning wouldn't produce a visible trail, but then sheet lightning doesn't ground out afaik.
Lightning actually has invisible "streamers" that determine the best path to the ground or vice-versa - wherever the electrical imbalance is located.
Lightning can be from the sky to the ground or from the ground to the sky.
This was a neat video, but doesn't mean anything nefarious was happening.
