The Oklahoma gigantic jet of light.
This has allowed a team of researchers to learn more about this strange phenomenon, as published inScience Advances.
Several unique observations were made about the Oklahoma bolt.

This is the largest charge ever transferred from Earth’s atmosphere to space on record.
Another unique aspect was the cloud that produced the jet.
The scientists used the data on the jet to examine the behavior of plasma.
Plasma streamers and leaders make up lightning, and these reach 400F and 8,000F respectively.
But why did the bolt jump skywards rather than down to Earth?
Certainly there is much more to learn about these strange celestial events.
