SPACE LIGHTNING OVER OKLAHOMA: Earlier this week, an enormous cluster of
sprites (a.k.a. "space lightning") appeared over a thunderstorm in Oklahoma.
The outbreak was so intense, it may have warped the ionosphere above it and
sparked a rare "pop-through gigantic jet."  This type of display could become
more common as summer thunderstorm season unfolds across the USA. Visit
