Oh, wow.

That's crazy.

So I think this story is fascinating because it's a real warning shot of if you really believe aliens are out there, you're convinced about it, every time you see something weird, that's where your brain goes to first.

No, well, it really freaked me out Nothing that I could say was something that I could go there was this time No Well, I haven't either and I think a lot of astronomers are in that same boat and it I think that's kind of strange What you think the professional people who start the sky for a living?

That's real weird

would probably have the most number to rack up unless we're all in a conspiracy or something.

But I guess the problem is there's all sorts of weird crap out there that we just don't understand.

In the NASA UAP Task Force, they found this.

Maybe you can find, Jamie, red sprite lightning.

There's these lightning events that go upside down.

Yes.

And it happens in the upper atmosphere.

And for years and years, pilots were reporting this, and nobody believed them.

They were like, this is bullshit.

You're kind of upside down, red light.

What the fuck are you talking about?

That's crazy.

And then people started videoing it.

And once they got videos and high resolution photos, you have to have like a shutter frame rate of like one over 100,000 seconds or something crazy to capture these things.

And until like the 1980s, we just thought this was basically a myth.
