Since sprites were discovered in the late 1980s, researchers have photographed thousands of the strange upward-reaching lightning bolts. Their oversized cousins, Gigantic Jets, are far more rare. Only dozens have been photographed. It is no wonder, then, that observers are still seeing new behaviors in this type of powerful “super sprite.” On Oct. 2nd, photographer Frankie Lucena may have recorded the first example of a “double Gigantic Jet.”
