Are we talking about those blobs on the wores? Aren't they those orange balls the place on wires to make them visible tobirds or planes, or something...?

Here is a video from BBC news that may explain the lights.

Definitely not bad weather. There were hardly any clouds in the sky, no wind of any note. It was mildly cold (about 25°F). This was in Monte Vista, CO near the Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge. Google Map of where I was parked.

Long exposure, high ISO.... hmmmmm there can be weird effects. But........ across the frame. The fact that these blobs all intersect a power line is very interesting. I believe your supposition that the camera is seeing light we can't see may be true. Or it could have been a momentary thing captured by the long exposure. Where exactly was this photo taken? I suspect these lines are very high voltage lines.

I have seen something like this but it was ball lightning following a power line. There was a raging T storm going on at the time. This doesn't appear to be the case in your shot. The ball lightning was green......
