Huge Mushroom-Shaped Flash Illuminates the Sky Over the Caribbean Sea (Video)
On September 18, 2016 Frankie Lucena of Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, photographed an enormous sprite over the Caribbean Sea. For a split-second, the sky was illuminated by a mushroom-shaped flash:Oscar van der Velde, a member of the Lightning Research Group at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, explains what Lucena photographed:
“This type of sprite is often called ‘jellyfish’ or ‘A-bomb,’ and ranks as the largest type of sprite in both horizontal and vertical dimensions,” he says. “It consists of a bright halo approximately 85 km above Earth’s surface surrounding sprite elements with long tendrils reaching down as low as 30 km above ground level.”
“This kind of sprite tends to be triggered by a very impulsive positive cloud-to-ground flash,” van der Velde said to spaceweather.
The curious thing is, Lucena did not observe an instigating lightning bolt. Instead, just before the sprite appeared, he recorded a bright point-like flash of light. “Was it a cosmic ray hitting the camera?” wonders Lucena. Another possibility: The point-like flash could have been a cloud-to-ground strike mostly eclipsed by intervening clouds.
If Lucena did photograph something new triggering a sprite, perhaps it shouldn’t come as a big surprise. The field is relatively new. Although sprites have been seen for at least a century, most scientists did not believe they existed until after 1989 when sprites were photographed by cameras onboard the space shuttle. There is still much to learn.
Play the video to see the flash.

This is my first post on BIN, although I´ve kept an eye on varying articles and become accustomed to various personalities on this site, a king who proclaims he is the messiah due to his lengthy public service broadcast about the lottery, bless, when you can´t fall back on your family credentials to get the word out what can you do, pants on the outside maybe? Some angel delight who likes donuts and a silver hammer for maxwell, to name but a few. All I have learnt is never take someone´s word for it, go to the source, if you can find it. So, instead of filling my head with words of doom, gloom and prep, revolution, war, deceit, fraud, oil, banks, fraud, deception, fraud, confusion, noise. noise. NOISE, I went for a walk instead, I took a camera with me, it took about 8 years, but I think i stumbled onto something. We are not alone, a lot of people are thinking the proverbial fan is getting hit shortly, it could well be, what do you think? A word of advice, I built this site on a big apple, better to look at the bigger picture without a crooked neck. Be good to one another.
