Transient Luminous Events (TLEs) are short-lived. upper-atmospheric optical phenomena associated with thunderstorms. Their rapid and random occurrence makes manual classification laborious and time-consuming. This study presents an effective approach to automating the classification of TLEs using state-of-the-art Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and a Vision Transformer (ViT). https://www.roneverhart.com/Pitkin-Ave-east-toward-Stone-Avenue-Brownsville-Mother-Gaston-Blvd-1964/
