Upper atmospheric lightning is quite a interesting phenomenon, thank you for creating this awesome video! I have tried to photograph Red Sprites myself, but failed so far...

[@JLim4o]

The Earth is fascinating!

[@judylee4649]

I love red sprites. They are so ethereal and mysterious. I 've nicknamed them 'Angel' Fire'.

[@gabisfunny]

In Brazil, we keep recording sprites in video with cameras of a meteor observation network. Do you guys want to use these videos for research?

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

I would like to see your videos. Have you thought about uploading them to your channel?

WOW.....Thank you

[@quentinhogbladder]

What is a Gravity Wave ? How are they created ? How are they detected ?

[@sebastianarganaraz2879]

I was astonished about the fact that powerful thunderstorms could generate gravity waves, are they sure? It is exact science? How do they know those ripples in the air wasn't generated by other high energetic event?

[@BethennyBreyelle]

From the firmament.

[@FloridaMan69.]

I'm more gorgeous than you

Charged particles hitting a cloaked vessel.

[@diomerda94]

Ho sbagliato la traduzione in italiano, al minuto 2:45 si parla di onde di gravitá, non onde gravitazionali!

[@leopardtrek1150]

E perche devi scrivere in italiana ? :)) Non lo sai inglese ?

[@luclachapelle3499]

No such thing as gravity waves ( at 02:45 ), you should stick to real facts !

[@1eyedwilli3]

Gravity waves have been proven.......
