You ever see the videos of people high on a mountain top when it's breezy? As the air molecules rush by you, static builds and wants to discharge someplace. An electrical "Aura" will develop that is visible to your naked eye.
Lots of neat electrical phenomena in the air. Corona discharge (St. Elmo's Fire) is one of them, but I haven't had the pleasure of witnessing it. There is, of course, lightning, built up by the same mechanism. Airplanes are built with electrical "wicks" to stream off any surplus charge.

Here's a great example: Energy from the atmosphere.
