The one and only time I saw the aurora borealis it was just getting dark (about midnite in early August 1987) while camped on the banks of the Skeena River upstream from Prince Rupert. As intense beams of green-blue light shot across the sky from east to west, horizon to horizon, curtain like patterns of light waved like flags in the wind. It was easy for me to imagine primitive man certain that he had seen spirits or God. The effect was so awesome my heart still quickens at the thought of that night. To see the northern lights is reason enough to spend a winter in the cold northern polar lattitudes. Steve G.

I saw aurora borealis in Florida once, but it was in the left mirror on my KLR. When I turned to look, there was an 18 wheeler bearing down on me, lit up like a Christmas tree. -- bierdo
