Hey I'm with you alarson! I had to double check just now to make sure they weren't fake.

Remember:

Super jealous. Nothing better than seeing the aurora borealis.

So dank.

I wish I had! I've never seen it with that much color.

Would have been pretty awesome to see in person. Drinking a few beers on the deck and watch them for a few hours would be ideal night during it.

From one of our viewers in Grafton, IA.

I actually went out for and hour and watched as well. Naked eye you could see all the green with a hint of purple.

I also made this timelapse. http://vimeo.com/67457231

If you look closely, the Northern Lights are also producing repeated flashes of small red dots on the left side. They seem to be in a repetitive manner. Maybe someone should check this out?

Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.
