SPRITE LIGHTNING CAPTURED IN AURORA LIGHTS
The aurora lights captured in Blair Nebraska, America - WITH electrifying purple and illuminous green brightening up the night sky, this is the rare moment a flash of 'sprite' lightening was captured on camera. Photographer Mike Hollingshead, 37, was on a trip to Blair Nebraska in America when the natural phenonemon appeared right before his eyes. Sprites are large-scale electrical discharges which occur high above thunderstorm clouds and result in a range of visual shapes flickering in the night sky. 'Sprite lightning was first ever captured on camera in just 1989, and is something so rare that most people will never have the pleasure of seeing for themselves.' said Mike
