Amazing sprite lightning videos

A few years ago when some of my students and I were researching enigma projects, a student mentioned SPRITES which I never heard of . We soon found out more. Sprites shoot up from the tops of big thunderclouds.
Here is an amazing 2 videos of these enigmatic sprites. Great videos a must see.
