On August 20th, 2014 I timelapsed a storm over central South Dakota with multiple cameras. I left for Wyoming without looking at most of the frames.\u00a0I saw a post by Tom Warner<\/a> about Sprites he caught on the same storm. Sprites<\/a> are\u00a0large scale electrical discharges that occur high above\u00a0clouds.<\/p>\n When I got back I went through the frames and found 7\u00a0with Sprites in them. I didn’t post 2 of them because they are very faint. The Sprites are only 1 frame each, so they will be a quick flash of red near the right side above the storm. The green Airglow is rippled by Gravity Waves<\/a>, (gravity waves are not<\/strong> the same as gravitational waves) some faint Aurora moves in towards the end of the sequences, on the right side before the clouds cover it up. Thanks to Tom Warner<\/a> and Dr. Walter Lyons <\/a>for helping me identify Gravity Waves in my shots. Dr. Lyons also shared a link <\/a>that will help identify which storms may have Sprites. Look for a large red cross on the map.<\/p>\n See the timelapse of the storm below, and more images in the gallery.<\/p>\n
