Our paper with University of Bristol Biological Sciences shows how to measure the charge on small objects found in environmental fieldwork - or those released from acoustic levitation in the lab - using a new design of Faraday cup which encloses the sensitive electronics. doi.org/10.1016/j.elst…




Elve Lightning event over a nearby storm. The Donut Hole is what made me realize that this was not a lightning flash but instead an Elve lightning event.

Red Sprite captured using a scientific camera and a precision GPS timestamp and a NASA VLF-3 Receiver for the audio and also using Vaisala Lightning Data.

Here is a sprite halo event that I just captured from Puerto Rico on July 5th 2025. According to Vaisala Data It was triggered by a -378 KA stroke.

The amazing Gigantic Jet photo by Nichole “Vapor” Ayers is the best color image ever taken from space of a fully developed Gigantic Jet event. Congrats !!!

Here is the data for the Gigantic Jet from the ISS. Optical Energy was provided by Levi Boggs of Georgia Tech and ELF-VLF data from Steven Cummer of Duke University.

First Sprite ever captured on film. Special thanks to Otha H Vaughan of Nasa for sharing this with me. He and Dr. Winckler have paved the way to where we are now with this phenomena.

Halo event that was triggered by a -223 KiloAmp Lightning stroke and the VLF signature that was detected by my Nasa VLF-3 receiver on July 24 2025.

Sprite Halo that was triggered by a -220 KA stroke at 3:04am local Time on July 28 2025. It was captured by my Sony IMX291 and Watec Scientific camera.

An Elve is the largest type of TLE event. It is a very Large Electromagnetic Pulse that can stretch from 300 to 500 km wide. Captured on July 28 2025.
