Scientific paper

On June 3, 2005, in western Texas, luminous phenomena, including an extremely bright luminous object (EBLO), which emitted light for over 3 h, were photographed by two automated monitoring stations during a series of intense thunderstorms. Certain lightning strokes recorded by the National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) correlate well with the origin of the brightest object in time and space. Optical triangulation located it on the ground at a distance of about 28 km from the farthest station, and absolute radiometric measurements indicate the object's peak emitted visible-wavelength power was of the order of 10 kW. Possible explanations for these objects are discussed.
