Lightning sprites; high altitude discharges of atmospheric electricity that occurs high above thunderstorm clouds. They are red in color and can appear as high as 90 kilometers into the Mesosphere.

lightening that is red and is very high in the sky. I am not that edjyamacated in this stuff.

It is the electrical discharge seen ABOVE the lightening cloud during a lightening strike. The sprite travels up strking above the cloud and then travels down in smaller particles possibly ice in the form of hail.
