1. My dear Xicano!

I too long to see one!

That is a stunning picture...

Alas, I live far too south to see such a thing.

They just don't happen over SoCal...

:hi:

5. Sarah Palin could see them from her house if she

wasn't too busy peeking in windows in russia which she can also see from her house. :D

2. I was supprised to see it in

Idaho a few years back. I had more important things on my mind, but it made for a nice diversion.

3. Saw it here in Wisconsin some years ago.

Sheets of green light that filled the whole sky, gave me goosebumps!

4. It's awesome!

6. "GOOD LORD! What's going on in there?" "Aurora Borealis."

"A...Aurora Borealis!? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely in your kitchen."
"Yes."
"Can I see it?"
"No."

7. I've seen the Aurora Borealis

several times. It truly is awe inspiring.

8. It's definitely

on my list, too, and has been forever. What an incredibly awesome sight it must be to see swaying in the sky. :hi:

9. I saw them in NYC as a child.

I remember it being said that it was very unusual for this to be seen in NY. People kept saying "Once in a lifetime". What I remember is what looked like flowing curtains of colored lights in the night sky.

12. Saw them in Detroit, and one time all the way down into Ky.

10. I guess living in Canada,I take it for granted.

I will appreciate the view more,knowing folks have never seen something I can see almost any night.

16. In Iowa I have seen them 3 times in my life

the last in August @ 3 years back. They were pale green, some pink and white mixed in.
I stood in awe for about three hours.
Want to trade? You can come down here and look at cornfields and I can go up there and look at the sky?

[Swede]

17. Pink,white,green and blue (all pale in color) moving across the sky.

Filling the sky one some nights.

11. Saw it once here in western NY, many years ago

My friend and I were driving in the hills around the Finger Lakes, so at first it didn't register as to what we were seeing--we thought it was city light pollution...till we realized we weren't near any cities! We were so stunned we pulled the car over and got out to stare at it. Rubes we was...
:rofl:

And it was a mild one, too--long fingers of very pale green/blue light. I'd probably fall over if I saw one as dramatic as the pic in your sig (beautiful shot, BTW).

[Tuesday Afternoon]

13. I would love to see it, too.

that picture is just fantastic :o

[phasma ex machina]

14. The Aurora Borealis witnessed by me looked like a fainter, milky white version of this one

[skygazer]

15. I saw one in Vermont once

Not as vivid as the one in that photo (beautiful photo) but stunning and awe-inspiring nonetheless. Nature is just so amazing, isn't it?

[applegrove]

18. Beautiful.

19. Not only saw, but heard it.

Very, very low frequency rumble...almost felt more than heard.


Tres cool.
