CABO ROJO, Puerto Rico – A photographer Wednesday morning caught a rare phenomenon on video during thunderstorms in Puerto Rico .

The phenomenon, known as a gigantic jet, is a Transient Luminous Event (TLE) and looks like upside-down red lightning .

It's a rare thing to see in person, let alone capture on camera.

In the short video clip, a quick little burst of red flashed through the sky, before quickly disappearing.

A slowed-down version of the video showed the gigantic jet, with a purpleish-pink hue at the base, before flaring into bright red branches in the sky.
