For two years Paul Smith & I worked on a science based Japanese TV show about Lightning and TLEs. Now that the show has aired in Japan, we are free to use our footage on our platforms.  There's a good chance the show will air in the US as well. I'll keep you posted. 

Tonights video showcases the most powerful manifestations of lightning namely "horizontally extensive positive ground flashes", and the TLEs they initiate.  While I'm hunting these big daddy strikes under the storm, Paul simultaneously documents the sprites that occur above the storm. 

Happy weekend Patrons!

Would we know about sprites if there were no cameras.

I have seen sprites with my naked eye twice, and ran off to search for what I had seen immediately. They have been know at grass roots level, but were discounted for a long time. We can't see Ghosts with the naked eye, they are too dim and too swift, and even sprites you need to be blinking and looking at the clouds with perfect timing to see them!
