Aurora - Massachusetts

Finally cleared up just before midnight. Looking North over the house into
Ursa Minor, the sky has a definite low level glow of a kind of aqua color
with very obvious and large whisps (waves) of light (white-ish-gray-aqua)
flowing southward reaching near zenith. There are several streamers
extending out of the general northern glow and seem to hold their form for
long periods. At first I thought these might be clouds, but the way they
move tells me otherwise.

None of this is extremely well hued with color, or overwhelmingly bright. I
suspect that an eye unfamiliar with the night sky might not detect more than
the brighter waves, but to my eye, the storm of waves is pretty constant.

Well, I've already stayed up later than I ought. It was a good show. Best
I've seen (not that I've been out to see Auroras all that much in my 40+
years).
