As promised here's the picture I took. It' not that great because I got away without my tripod and had to hold the camera for the 30 second exposure. But it made Channel 5 News in Dallas, Tx tonight!!

actually seen that down here in southeast texas before...thought it was a fire in the distance from the sky color

I thought this thread was going to be about something completely different.  :devil

Reflecting  :headscratch:

So what, there is a giant mirror over Canada now...
EDIT: Nothing here now. :cry  I did find the website I was thinking of though  http://www.gi.alaska.edu/AuroraForecast/2  while the forecast was for calm, the current picture says "Extreme" but I'm only right on the edge of the visible ring.
i remember hearing somewhere (not really sure where) that the atmosphere can reflect certain things off of it and it shows up miles away from where it originally started.

and like i  said it was a GUESS.

Stop guessing and do some research.

It was a geomagnetic storm...
