Peter McLeish, an artist affiliated with FMA Research Inc, USA, will discuss the nature of his collaboration based on Red Sprites.

Red sprites are upper atmospheric optical phenomenon associated with thunderstorms that were considered UFOs by pilots before their discovery.

For over a century, people, including well respected scientists, had reported seeing strange lights in the night sky within thunderstorms .

They were first discovered by accident in 1989 when the first such event was captured on a low-light camera’s video tape. One researcher exclaimed it was as if Biology had just suddenly discovered a new human body part. Since then, an entire 'zoo' of luminous creatures have been found in the thin air above thunderstorms. And the discoveries are still being made.
