What is the lightning bolt icon in iCal?

Question

I've gone through this document, but it's for iCal 3.0, Lion has 5.0+.

Here's what it looks like, I'm not sure if it's a bolt or a tilde:

enter image description here

Hovering over it gives you no information about it, and it disappears shortly after creating the event...

It means iCal is having difficulty sync-ing with iCloud, or google Calendar. Or some other calendar services that you have.

It means it from a calendar online and you're not currently connected.

It's the same icon as in Mail for an unconnected account.
