I've had the fortune to observe this effect (accidentally and at work). Electricity always seeks a ground, and if it can't find one then it heats up whatever it's touching. This is how induction stovetops and wireless chargers work on a basic level. Batteries have chemicals that allow storage of electricity.

Your hypothesis of lightning passing through a person in midair is no different from a person getting struck on the ground. The electricity will blast the shit out of the person and continue on its way to a ground.

Pic is the Lichtenberg Figure, the same figure lightning makes in the air. Here's a nice video on electrical induction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i2OVqWo9s0
