If you haven’t seen a -8 or -9 Iridium flare, you should definitely put it on your list of easy things worth doing. You can get the times for your exact location at http://www.heavens-above.com/

If the time and location that the photo was taken are available, the Heavens Above fellow http://www.heavens-above.com/ could certainly tell you if there was an Iridium salelite in position to do this.

The shape is reminiscent of the high altitude phenomena called "sprites", but as far as I know, they are generally red.

The appearance of a "sprite" (about 30 miles high by 30 miles wide), flashing above a distant thunderstorm. The "sprite" is about 175-250 miles away from the camera.

That’s really peculiar.

I thought the title of the thread was about the Aurora, Texas mystery.

We'll give that one another hundred years.

Thanks NYer. Louis Frank, pick up the courtesy phone.
