Details:
Are the rare 'Blue Starters' really that rare?
Knowing the high lightning density along my night flight I was prepared and managed to capture a series of rare 'Blue starters'. Looking at their evolution with several Blue starters during the lifetime of this lightning bolt and the location on the upper side of a cloud, it's probably only the lack of observations which makes them 'rare'. Is it time for a new citizen science project by night flight passengers?
