Sprites and Sprite Halos imaged at 1000 fps

Great news for you, Relativistic Perturbation Mantle, they built these from a 12 ft sphere.

This is just insane. Awesome video, thank you.

hahahahaha...the same phenomena that occurs on the sun...but in small scale.

A little solar flare...but here on earth...is like this.

On the SUn...this phenomena is just a massive...maybe the same thing...but with different scales and more agressive because the size.

maybe is a crazy from my mind...but looks like this one.

bi-product of HAARP or cloud seeding

Classical music and HUGE electrical discharges are what i need for a shockingly good day :)

Great show!! My work in Lightning will provide the cause of these for you. Relativistic Perturbation Mantle

there not called sprite halos there called elves

[P3ERSON]

@april76301 No they are called sprite halos look it up

[april76301]

@P3ERSON one old comment and 2 those are 2 diffrent things go too wikipedia and type in types of lightning and scroll down the big circular thing is a elve the lines streaking down is called and sprite.

At 0:55 what is the light downward moving trail preceding the sprite?

[maksphoto78]

@auto9898 I believe it's the "leader", same as with the ordinary lightning. It's a path of ionised air that makes the discharge possible.

@maksphoto78 Actually, sprites are streamers, which are "ionization waves" that are different from leaders. It is not clear whether leaders even develop in sprites, since they involve significant current flow that heats the channels, and spectroscopic observations of sprite optical emissions indicate no significant neutral heating.
