Sprites

[Farseer]

I was wondering if Sprites (them massive lightning column things) do they go into space or come down from space and if they come down from space, where does the enegry come from?

I believe that the conventional thinking is that they go from cloud to space. This link may help explain things a little. http://www.cyberfae.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=230
