FxChip, although I appreciate your response, here's why lightning almost never hurts flying objects:

Lightning strikes "high" things because it always seeks the shortest path to electrical neutrality- in this case, the ground, an infinite "storage space" for electrons. For that reason, something like the top of a conducive building is a likely striking point because the electricity can travel through the frame of the building.

Flying things are indeed higher, but they are almost never struck. Why?

Because they don't touch ground! The electricity has nowhere to go! Electricity is not try to "strike" things, it's trying to go through them. Because the electricity has no reason to "flow," a flying saeli would be nearly impervious to electrical attack.
