Ide is leteszek egy szemelvényt Nolának, hogy néz ki repcsirõl a red sprite:
"A Canadian Pacific Airlines pilot saw the following on a night flight near Fiji in 1950: “Out from the top of the cloud shot a burst of light like a firework display. The flash took several seconds to reach its maximum height at about 3,000 feet above the cloud top; it was not just a burst of light but rather a series of streamers extending from a single point at the center of the anvil and spreading out like a water fountain.”

A U.S. Air Force pilot recorded this sighting after a 1965 flight from Montana to Washington, D.C.: “The night was clear, and the nearby full moon was very bright. Approaching a line of northeast to southwest thunderstorms in eastern Indiana, there was considerable lightning activity. The clouds were white from the moonlight but fiery inside. . . . About a mile or two from the nearest top, a bolt of lightning came straight out the top and went to a point about 2,000 feet above us and shattered in all directions as an egg would do if it were thrown against a ceiling. . . . We climbed to 41,000 feet, and we observed the phenomenon seven or eight more times. The next day we read in the newspaper that a line of thunderstorms had spawned many tornadoes.”
