What is Sprites - First Sighting about?

When they play back the tape, two funnel-shaped flashes of light catch their attention, lasting just a few thousandths of a second. The team estimates these flashes are 20 miles above the clouds and an astonishing 12 miles tall. By pure chance, they capture the first image of what will be known as a 'sprite'.
