+CYBret Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 I took a late night drive last night and kept noticing this amazing blue/green glow to the north. From everything I have seen before it sure looked like the Northern Lights, but I figured it was just the moon reflecting off some clouds. Amazingly enough, it WAS the Northern Lights. Looks like there's a good chance us midwesterners will get another show tonight. Check out this article for some more details. Bret Quote Link to comment

+Ed Rad Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Yeah... Fallenfaery and I saw them on the way home last night. We were not sure what the heck they were. Heard on the radio this morning that they were indeed the Northern Lights. Most Excellent! Quote Link to comment
FreeFloat Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Lucky for me, I just happened to be heading home from a scuba dive. Home for me is Toronto which produces waaaaay too much sky-glow to even see bright stars, let alone Northern Lights. But I was an hour north - stopped for gas and as I was pulling out of the service station happened to glance up and my jaw just dropped. Haven't seen real bright Notrhern Lights since my (rural) childhood. From here in Canada, the sky was sheeted with these green dancing curtains - almost directly overhead was a dark void spot, and all the curtains appeared to be hung from that spot but there were enough to cover 360° although the ones to the north were the brightest and most active. The show is supposed to continue tonight. Hope there's no clouds....... I'm gonna have to go for a drive........ Quote Link to comment

+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Looked like the sky was on Fire here in SW Missouri great views just before the clouds moved in. I tried pics but no luck,I need one of the 1000 dollar cameras. Quote Link to comment
