November 4th 2018 . Jellyfish lightning sprite with VLF Radio signature

I witnessed an incredible sprite storm this night over Eastern Oklahoma into Arkansas. One of the better captures from the night was almost dead center in my 85mm lens. A beautiful jellyfish sprite- probably a 40x30 mile structure high above the active squall line. These Jellyfish are particularly fast TLE’s and I have had difficulty capturing usually . Their fast occurrence prone to slip between frames or get lost in the rolling shutter mechanism. I had the VLF radio going at the time and captured the signature in the 0-100khz band. Not for re-broadcast. Please contact for sharing or licensing options @
