Sprites in Space

[tritanopia]

Couldn't see it at first because of the stupid Kellogg's ad in front of it. I won't be buying their Frosted Mini-Wheats with a touch of fruit (in the middle).

ths is how i think elves work: what happens when you turn on a lamp? what do you see on the ceiling? a circle of projected light. if u ask me elves are the exact same thing: you culd look at ut atmosphere as a sort of "ceiling". thats why elves are so faint

all this is just my guess but cmon it makes sense dosnt it? lol

you have a good description of sprites....get into blue jets, elves, too. They all occur at different altitudes above the the thunderstorm (mainly supercells) but they are very fascinating along with they different types of lightning that occurs in the lower atmosphere. The Earth is electrically charged but that thought doesnt occur to us. Lightning also causes other types of electrical phenomena to occur, an example is the Schumann Resonance. There is so much to learn in geophysics

there needs to be some 1000fps footage of this stuff if there isn't already

[1RadicalOne]

There is. I saw a documentary, they captured rows of them, moving in a line.
