Beautiful light show!
RED SPRITES and ELVES over Maunakea's Sky. Delayed Time-averaging Timelapse.
These Upper-atmospheric lightning events (or transient luminous events: TLE) are actually very short-time events with milli-second order. They were discovered only relatively recently in 1989.

the red sprites or whatever that actually is, it seems to me they present themselves this way by passing through the firmament!
The red ring that was in the video was mind-blowing - I loved it. The Sprites are well named - they do remind me of that.
I can't wait until telescopes improve, to see the many things that are going on that we don't see now. I still want to know what the green light which I saw in the sky a couple of months backs. How amazing our skies are.
