A Sprite appears during a rapid succession of strokes that was captured by my NASA VLF-3 receiver. Taken last night facing west from Cabo Rojo, PR at 1:07am. @DeborahTiempo @adamonzon @weatherchannel @spritacular @ASIM_Payload @AMSAtmoElect @atmos_elect @NASA @NOAA @VaisalaGroup

Gigantic Jet Lightning is often mistaken for a Red Sprite. Gigantic Jets are more powerful and much more rare than Red Sprites. @DeborahTiempo @adamonzon @weatherchannel @NASA @NOAA @ASIM_Payload @spritacular @NWS @WMO @ametsoc @AMSAtmoElect @atmos_elect @CBSNews @foxweather

Elve event from Invest94L, and soon to become a Hurricane. Taken Sept 24 2025 at 1:46am when it was near Puerto Rico. @DeborahTiempo @adamonzon @weatherchannel @spritacular @NASA @NOAA @ASIM_Payload @vaisalaxweather @AMSAtmoElect @atmos_elect @NWS @SPACEdotcom @spaceweatherman

Red Sprites generated over Invest 94L outer band when it was just south of the Dominican Republic on Sept 26th 2025 at approx 8pm LT. @DeborahTiempo @adamonzon @weatherchannel @spritacular @NASA @NOAA @ASIM_Payload @AMSAtmoElect @atmos_elect @SPACEdotcom @NWS @NWSSanJuan

Gigantic Jet Lightning event from last night. My Nasa VLF-3 receiver was able to pick up the sferics (Electromagnetic Sound) emitted by the event. @adamonzon @DeborahTiempo @weatherchannel @spritacular @AMSAtmoElect @atmos_elect @NASA @ASIM_Payload @NOAA @theAGU @NWS @SPACEdotcom

An Elve lightning event that according to Vaisala Data was triggered by a -425 KiloAmp Stroke and this was over a very small stormcell just south of Puerto Rico. @spritacular @AMSAtmoElect @atmos_elect @NASA @NOAA @NWS @spaceweatherman @ASIM_Payload @VaisalaGroup @vaisalaxweather

Elve lightning just south of the Dominican Republic on Aug 14 2025. Vaisala data shows two strokes for this event but the 2nd stroke is actually a reflection. @spritacular @AMSAtmoElect @atmos_elect @NASA @NWS @NOAA @theAGU @ASIM_Payload @spaceweatherman @ASIM_Payload #TLE

Hurricane Erin Anamoly. The lightning strokes were located over 250 Km SE of these flashes. The optical flash sequence matches the audio pulses detected by my Nasa VLF-3 Receiver. @NASA @NOAA @NWS @theAGU @AMSAtmoElect @atmos_elect @ametsoc @WMO @weatherchannel @WeatherNation

Sprites from last night just SE of Puerto Rico between 2:37am and 3:29am LT (6:37UTC and 7:29 UTC) on Aug 23 2025. Audio is from my Nasa VLF-3 Receiver. @DeborahTiempo @adamonzon @weatherchannel @AMSAtmoElect @atmos_elect @spritacular @NASA @NOAA @VaisalaGroup @ASIM_Payload

Here is a sprite halo event that I just captured from Puerto Rico on July 5th 2025. According to Vaisala Data It was triggered by a -378 KA stroke. @DeborahTiempo @adamonzon @weatherchannel @atmos_elect @ASIM_Payload @AMSAtmoElect @spritacular @NASA @NOAA @NWS
