Extremely rare gigantic jet captured from the International Space Station over Mexico and U.S. Southwest

"An extremely rare transient luminous event (TLE) identified as a gigantic jet was observed
from the International Space Station (ISS) as the station passed over a large thunderstorm system in northern
Mexico and the southwestern United States....Gigantic jets are rare, powerful forms of high-altitude lightning that connect the tops of thunderstorms to the ionosphere. In this photo, the storm appears to be hovering near the Texas–Mexico border,” Ayers said. “You can spot the glow of Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston to the northeast, and Torreón, Mexico, to the southwest."
