I second that wow! Did you see the series on mega-lightning on foxtel? They had some great video/shots of sprites - particularly the ones taken from Taiwan, awesome! They say they can tower up to 15 klm into space! weird how they werent truely discovered/acknowledged till the 1980's 90's???? although airline/airforce pilots had always insisted they existed I think. Have you ever seen any naked eye at all?
I also like the phenomenom of ball lightning - which i believe Victoria/Melbourne is the capitol of in Oz - i have friend who saw one in melbourne when he was a kid - it travelled through his house and down the hallway very slowly - i have heard a few first hand accounts of ball lightning from people who lived in Vic - any one out there got a ball lightning story? They are reputed to act as if they have there own intelligence!!???
