Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

"iffy" image, I'd have said.

That still photo MUST be heavily edited?

WOW!! Stunning catch of these very elusive phenomena! Great job!

Anyone know the music? Source does not mention, and Shazam does not recognize it.

Sounds like videogame battle music

You can't fool me. That's a reaper invasion!

I'm extremely wary, since known Facebook AI Generation groups have credited Nicolas Escurat's work before when it was... less realistic...

Appreciate the link, but it even describes itself as a blog...

If your pic is real, that's good to consider; But a simple google search gives results for Red Sprites showcasing pictures similar to OP's, and from more 'reliable' sources, including National Geographic.

It's weird to look at an atmospheric phenomena and see where space begins and the mesosphere ends

That thing is reaching up 100km, just below the ionosphere. Anything above the nitrogen rich stratosphere that is a low density oxygen environment , which is why aurora borealis is green

1/25th and only one frame. You'll never ever see those with youre bare eyes.

If they're bright enough (or your eyes are sufficiently adapted), you might - and, if you have no idea what that could have been, wondering what you have seen or not.

A blink of an eye. If you, per chance, look into the right direction. And you might just see a red blip. Because the brain isn't as fast when you don't know exactly what to look for. Getting those on film is already a small miracle.

You can easily spot a flash in the darkness. Won't be able to examine the detail, but we can perceive tiny things if contrast is sufficient.
