Original 1994 video clip from which the terms "Red Sprites" and "Blue Jets" are derived. Video was made at a local TV station in Oklahoma City from events recorded during an aircraft campaign to investigate basic properties of sprites. The clip shows... examples of: the first color images of sprites, the first images of blue jets, the first recordings of distinctive radio signatures associated with sprites, and the first realistic determination of the altitude reached by sprites (~95 km). The blue jet images were obtained on 1 July 1994 over an extremely active thunderstorm that dumped 7 cm diameter hail on Texarkana, Texas/Arkansas. The clip shows the two jet aircraft that were flown ~50 km apart to obtain stereoscopic views, some of the instrumentation inside the aircraft used to make the observations, and the team. This video is set to music and words explaining what happens appear on the screen. Great pictures. Run time 05:47.
