If the camera were turned 2 inches to the right or the sprite were 2 dozen miles to the left, possibly could have been my best capture to date lol.

Lots going on in the skies over Oklahoma last night. Managed a few nice meteors from the shower and some sprites over severe weather in SE Ok.

Probably my favorite sprite scene from 2018 over Kaw Lake ,Ok. Only 1 of 3 cameras caught this super quick jellyfish sprite. They are some of the largest, brightest, quickest and most intricate of the sprite family. #kswx #okwx #NASA @esa @emilyrsutton @AccuAstronomy @BBCEarth pic.twitter.com/z14Y8sEnQR— Paul M Smith (@PaulMSmithPhoto) April 4, 2020
