Abstract Experimental data related to electric discharges in the upper atmosphere are considered. These discharges occupy enormous volumes of the atmosphere (up to 1000 km3) and are accompanied by optical radiation (in the UV, optical, and IR ranges), and also by gamma-ray radiation. Possible physical processes responsible for the evolution of such discharges are also considered.
