Description

Erratic energy surges are being detected along the tectonic fault lines of ….

The origin of these spikes cannot be ascertained from orbit. Closer study will be required to identify the source of this phenomenon.

Description

Geological analysis of … has identified the source of the erratic energy spikes detected during initial orbital surveys.

The planet's volatile tectonic activity produces violent electrostatic discharges in regions with unstable frozen tundra.

This volcanic lightning erupts skywards turning the surrounding air to plasma. The extreme heat unleashed by this event produces a thermal shock which then solidifies into lightning-shaped structures.

Using what we have learned from the geological analysis, we will be able to easily predict these seismic eruptions and exploit this phenomenon for our own purposes.
