Gigantic jets are lightning flashes that connect the cloud to the ionosphere. Because of the low air density at high altitudes, the discharge propagates as blue then red streamers instead of hot white bolts.

Bucketlist capture early this morning over Kansas. After thousands of hours with TLE's , finally a Giagantic Jet- still in disbelief. It also may be the furthest north ever captured- lots of analysis to do on this one.
