Bolt of lightning may appear to be moving across the sky at a pace that you can see, but in fact it moves far faster than the human eye can detect. the fact that you "see" it is because you are having a(n) memory of where it was.

The fact that you "see" it is because you are having a flashbulb memory of where it was.

Explanation:

Flashbulb memory is memory in which we are able to recall something because we can see where it was before it passed.

In this case the lighting moves too fast for our eyes to see it but we can see the remnants of where it was before it passed .

sounds good to me mate!
