Sprites, blue jets

[atleastitsnotcrack]

LOL punny, computer graphics sprites of lightening sprites!

[charter1423th]

17 miliseconds but our eyes view it lasting around 1.5 seconds best look above thunderstrom about 50 mi. away. shield eyes from lighting its real

[sweetsongman1]

these things really happen

[laura20022004]

So these are from the Lightings

[baileyg71]

blue jet, sprite, blue jet, quick blue jet, crazy sprite stream, another crazy sprite stream!

[drulli6]

damn i'd like to see this in real life :D

[iamdabest245]

Thats what they look like, but they don't nearly last that long i've seen a video of less than 30 milliseconds

[AzzyTay]

They usually last for about 17 milliseconds

thats just a rough estimate.

[akosfreak]

wie wo wan wurde das gefilmt????

[Cchrisbud813]

This is quite an impressive animation. I think I saw a real blue jet once, it was a spurt of light that shot out of the top of a storm for quite a distance upward, faster than the blink of an eye.

[Chamtechie]

Probably. To see any of these high-altitude lightnings, you need to get far enough away from a storm cloud to see the whole thing, then watch the top veeeeery carefully

[Cchrisbud813]

Yes. Probably a blue jet, but it also resembled something called "rocket lightning" that I believe I've also seen. That time it was from the bottom of a storm. I saw a fast-moving bead of light, following a dimly illuminated straight-line path toward the ground, like a tiny ball in a straw. It appeared to end at the horizon, but the thunder was quite loud.

[Chamtechie]

WhOA ive never heard of that before

[Chamtechie]

rocket lightning, i mean

[wxchaser03]

this is an animation using real images of sprites and jets.

[kennyshen1228]

No matter is fake or not, it's good video to explain how blue jets and red sprite look like. Nice video lol

[combofeliz]

q bello se ve esa simulación de los sprite

[fishmeats]

this is a good explanation of how sprites look

[casarrubius]

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!! It looked artificial as if it were made in a movie. Is this real footage?

[Canapin]

That's a computer simulation of a real phenomenon

[Canapin]

To be more precise, search "blue jet", "red sprites" and "elves" on google.

[yxtee]

@Canapin Is there a video of elves(lightning)? I've been searching around and couldn't find any. I'd really like to see one.

If you anyone has a link be sure to send it to me ^^

[Canapin]

@yxtee

I didn't find that.

There are some pictures taken from recorded elves, but not the video itself.

[shkwave99]

@casarrubius No. It's CG. Very good CG, at that.

[Japanzor]

its not fake

[xaraxen]

These above-the-cloud 'megalightnings' are about 3 times the length of the island of Manhattan. Yikes!
