Here we go again!
The evidence from analyzing the face of Mars is that these may begin as “lightning precursor discharges”, but that they actually in fruition are plasma discharges. These cause HUGE
geological plowing on some planets. Mars has these features.

Airline pilots must have known about it - there are some anecdotal descriptions," the Technical University of Denmark physicist said.
40 years of professional flying, world wide, never saw the phenomenon.

The discovery came as a shock to scientists at the time, according to Dr Torsten Neubert, ASIM's lead scientist. "That really surprised all of us. How come this exists and we didn't know it?Golly, Torsten, I don't know but I sure hope thrown tens of billions of tax dollars at it so you never have to actually do anything for a living.

Hmm. The article calls this mystery giant lightning in the title, but then goes on to explain exactly what is happening. I think there is not a mystery here.

Did you know that these are so energetic that anti-matter is produced and annihilated in the sprites?
Lots of other weird stuff that we don't yet understand going on in there.

I once saw blue-green “glows” after lightning strikes. I was at ground-level.

Sprites and elves are aptly named for their fantasmical appearance unlike the geological Kames and Eskers portion of a glacial deposit which sound like a brand of ice cream bars.
