I just saw "Northen Lights"

[gore]

OK, first, I'm not high right now.

I just went outside for a smoke, and I looked up at the sky. I happened too look up at the sky, and too be honest, I thought I was seeing things. It's Icey cold outside right now, and I saw what I can only describe as The most amazing thing I think I've ever seen Sober.

The sky was flashing red and white, like it had been set on fire. Windows Media Player has a few visual things you can have going while you listen too a CD, but it doesn't even come close too what I just saw actually happen.

The Red stopped just as quickly as it had started, and all of a sudden, BOOM! the Sky is bright blue and green, and colors are dancing in the sky. I couldn't believe it. I'm probably going too be getting yelled at in the morning because I woke my Mom up who has too be at work in 2 hours, to come look.

It was a green and white mixture that looked like the Castle in "The Wizard of Oz" except it seemd too go straight into the sky, and let off smoke signals. It was amazing. I stood there freezing, watching, as the whole thing started too move like a flame in the stars.

Then that stopped and I'm like... Where did it go? I look too my right and there it was, an Icey blue color with a greenish tint, playing in the sky. It seemed like it was the whole night on fire. I'm not sure if any of you have seen this before in person, but the first thing that popped into my head is "What the hell did I take?". I realised I haven't had anything in over 8 hours.

It is amazing looking. Watching colors play in the sky. The only way I can describe what I just saw is colored fire dancing in the sky. And the colors are amazing.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to get Narcotized too witness this properly.

Yes sir.....it is a pure natural wonder.

I just went to the corner 7-11 and noticed that they were very visable tonight and much higher than normal. But wonderful...wonderful....wonderful.

To be able to see them anywhere in the greater Seattle area is amazing in itsef, because of all the background lights and clutter.

The best I have ever seen them was a cold January night when traveling across northern Montana on highway 2. I was the only vehical out there (about 3:30 am) and I stopped on the side of the road and just watched them for over an hour.

I saw extremely wonderfully red/purple/blue streaks in the sky last night, they were ****in' incredible. However I was high at the time with some friends, so I didn't know if it was just me.

Hehe, I was a few minutes later. It looked even better! I heard tonight they will happen again so I'm going too be outside freezing my ass off too look again.

Well you guys are lucky....all I seen was putty and my unfinished 10 page research paper.

I sure wish we could see sights like that down here in Texas. I did get to see it one evening on an Arctic Circle cruise back in my Navy days - we were under darken ship, so no outside light interference. It was indeed one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

They freak you out.

Hey Gore!

Nice aren't they............I first saw them when I was around nine years old. My old man had gone out to the garage for something and rushed back to bring mom, my older brother, and myself out to see...........my old man was in Norway with the RAF during WWII, so he knew what they were

Atmospherics seem about right just now...............TV reception is crap

/off topic

I spoke with our Mayor on Sunday, he will try to get you a job with our parks and gardens department............. "The poppies were very successful johnno" he said............."we won the flowers in Britain competition"

An Afghan friend got me around 4 pounds of seed.......................papaver thingymebob, or "moon flowers"..............and I got the local council to plant them.............OK mixed up with some of my collection to give a bit more variety.................

I have a friend who is a missionary priest in South America.............he will try to get me some seeds for shrubs

Good luck with the Aurora Borealis mate

Papaver Somniferum

You'll love them. When the flower petals fall off, wait for two weeks, and lights scrape the pods with a knife or something. The white stuff you'll see oozing out is Morphine and Codiene mixed together in something called Opium,

To confirm this isn't something we're making up: This was just on the channel 5 news as well as the channel 7 news and was talked about ALOT during the news cast as something "amazing".
