It must be a surreal, spiritual experience to be there all alone at 70,000 feet.
At what altitude is the storm, that generates these lights?
Intuitively I would have thought that, if they are on the edge of the atmosphere, the lights would be lower than the plane, no?
I wonder whether they got a big dose of radiation from being so high with all those high energy particles.
After forcing there album on us a few years ago, what I really want to know is why U2 is spying on us with planes?
Beautiful shots.
Surprised that these photos were allowed to be released from a recent military mission in a spy plane.
It's hard to glean much insight into what the mission might have been, but I thought the military had to approve the release of content through a lengthy declassification process.
