Gigantic Jets over Oklahoma
I picked this particular PotD because after watching it in class, I had a strong desire to figure out what I had seen. Upon originally hearing the moniker "Gigantic Jets", I assumed it was discussing man made aircraft. After some reading though, I learned that this phenomena is actually a rare form of electrical discharge. This is similar to the better known phenomena, blue-jets as well as upper-atmosphere/red sprites. (I assume this is the reference made in the video of "Carrot Sprites.")
