Details:
Elves are the largest of all the Transient Luminous Events. They are much larger than Red Sprites and Gigantic Jets. They can be anywhere from 200 to 400 Km wide. They will appear in the air glow layer of our atmosphere at about 90 Km, which is just below the Ionosphere. This one was triggerred by a 244 KA stroke and it was captured over a thunderstorm approx 725 Km from my location on November 5, 2023 facing south from Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico.
