I was flying over Khazakstan/Russia night before last and saw them. They were the most impressive I have seen and I saw them a few years ago flying over the North Atlantic.

Beautiful, and now I know what they’re called!

So this is what I saw in Anchorage, AK, a few years ago...

Thanks for the re-post.

The image was taken in the early hours of July 2nd, 2011 (MST). The display started at 11pm on the 1st, ended after 1:30am on the 2nd.

This image is one of the frames from a timelapse video that can be found at: http://vimeo.com/25918041

The video (when you see the ‘short’ animation of frames) easily shows the ‘wispy’ and unusual movement of the NLC clouds, which are far above the ground winds. They are truly a treat to see!

If you have any questions, please email or visit me on Google+ as I’m being assailed with questions, and would like to be able to answer as many as possible. :)

Regards,

Greg
