Original Note:
The images show a red sprite, a natural electrical phenomenon in the mesosphere triggered by intense lightning. Red sprites have been documented since 1989 and are part of a broader category of transient luminous events studied by NASA’s Spritacular project. https://science.nasa.gov/science-research/earth-science/spritacular/
