Cool pic, but horrible clickbait article title. Like telling ppl upfront it's rare red sprite lightning wouldn't get ppl interested.
That's incredible! For a moment I thought they were seeing a mushroom cloud, so that's a relief.
Interesting. It has structure. Magnetic phenomenon perhaps?
Yeah electromagnetic effect from lightning
Yeah that’s an anomaly from The Zone
You're an anomaly from the zone
Your mum's an anomaly from the zone
how do you know my mum?
We can talk about that over breakfast tomorrow.
Ehh, intergalactic gaming is way more railroded than it used to be, if waypoints are that on the nose. Remeber when you had to eyeball the circles cut in the grass? That's too much. Like, wy do we have coordinates at this point? At my time aliens could read a map without hand-holding. Don't even bother. You may introduce stargates just as well.
