Giant Jet over Puerto Rico

[Laurence Green]

2nd attempt to get this posted onto the CAS forum.  I hope this works this time…

On the NASA APOD website page is an amazing photo accompanied by a very short video (half a minute thereabouts) of a very rarely seen Giant Jet seen over Puerto Rico.

Here it is – what a phenomenal spectacle!  Caputered only last week.  The link, below, offers a brief yet concise explanation to the way the Jet occurs.

Awe inspiring, Laurence, thank you.

I must admit I was not thinking lightning, and first thought it was an upward bound jet.

Hi Duncan

Thank you very much indeed for this interesting reply.

I have viewed the amazing material about the mysterious Red Sprites.  From you posting I have viewed the filming several times to take in the explanations and marvel at the images contained therein.

Thanks again for you posting – much appreciated by me and others.

Here is my amplification  to the contribution which you have provided.

Laurence,

It is fascinating and they discovered something new in the green “ghosts”.
