Aurora borealis

Coincidence?

Is it aliens? Here's why that's the least important question about 3I/ATLAS.

Conspiracy theories have raged about 3I/ATLAS being an unnatural object. But the alien question, while fun, generates misinformation and distracts from the science.

We drove out of town about 10 miles and spent about a half hour and were able to have some amazing views after our eyes fully adjusted.

They were the best I’ve ever seen, but I haven’t seen them more than 5 times.

Both the boys were out like a light by the time we got back to town. That was nice.

I just went back outside. They have moved from the northern horizon to directly above and span from the eastern horizon to the western horizon.

Currently looking east

And to the west, but more straight up.

Went back out and the reds were gone. Green with the naked eye looks like fog now. Time for bed. Sounds like they will be even better tomorrow but it's going to be cloudy. Pretty cool stuff! My Canadian sighting was the dancing ribbon type lights but this was awesome to be able to see the sky lit up without using my phone.

 

[Dave N]

Ok, I lied. Just had to get one last look.

Look further to the east for the green, at least up here. We ain't that far apart. Like 1 0clock if looking during north.

I saw Facebook posts from Southern Illinois with the Aurora visible.

Red & green just now in Pie Town. Naked eye.
Psycadickle moon glow......trippy.
Tonight should be real good.

Saw them in MT in 1975 coming back from an Airplane concert in Calgary.
Seen hints of them here before in NM.

A friend posted this. I would say it wins the day for Borealis photos?

Very nice, but the photo @Dinkshooter took from elk camp last night is the best I think I've seen.

Those reds and pinks were crazy last night! We always drag the kids out of bed when the Auroras are worth the show!

Predicting that tonight will be even better than last night

I do agree and I saw that too but something about a nice big bull in the foreground gives one an extra 20 points on the scoring—ON A HUNTING FORUM anyway

It was awesome! I think its a symbol for the Lords return at the end days, similar to how the shepherds and wise men seen lights before Christ first return
