MichiganHuntr1 Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Driving down the road tonight, i see an amazing thing. Purple, pink, and blue waves of light going across the northern sky. What a sight! This was my first time seeing the northern lights, so I had to pull off of the road, and watch them for a few minutes. My advice to anyone who hasnt seen them, go somewhere where you can!! They are awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David_218 Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: The Northern Lights Down here in Southern Indiana, it's a rare treat to see the Northern Lights. However we noticed a glow in the north sky last evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: The Northern Lights yep, saw them last night! my entire household, save me and two sons, were up puking last night. i got up at 1:30, peeked outside and noticed a glow in the north. i figured i'd go check that out, because that isn't normal. stepped out on the deck and sure enough, some red way up north, but mostly green and yellow dancing sheets all the way from the eastern horizon to the western horizon. this is the 4th or 5th time i've seen them.

Palssonater Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: The Northern Lights Its too bad that you guys don't all get to see them. They are truley awesome. We had some very defined blue/green snaps(moves quickly) yesterday with reds and yellow surrounding them. The lights you saw to the "North" were right over my house last night. They were almost brighter than the moon. A standing invitation for anyone who wants to see the lights. Around beginning of January when its -50F up here, the lights are the brightest and most common. I invite anyone to come up and watch them....bring handwarmers! I'll provide the hot chocolate. acutally I will see if I can get some on video....

c_lou Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: The Northern Lights I noticed them up here about 6pm. I drove out to the country to get a better view of them. I drug my wife and daughter out with me. I had greens near the horizon and reds and purples overhead. They are a beautiful sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puffy Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: The Northern Lights Gotta wholeheartedly agree with ya! The northern lights up here are awe inspiring sight. I've been fortunate too have watched them a different times of the year but enjoy them most during the winter months. THEY ARE INTENSE! Bold blues.purples,greens and faded yellows. Many times during the winter the family and friends sit around the fire out the back of my place and watch them while we have a coffe or hot cider. ...................soothing light show guys! ......................Hunt Smart-Eat Well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washi Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Re: The Northern Lights I saw them last night. Was out with my daughter for the youth season. At first I just noticed some flickering just above the horizon and wondered what it was. Then half the sky turned red and then just above the horizon it turned green and white and staight up there were white spots showing up and fading away. It was quite the site. Especially since we don't see them here in Missouri very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
