Back in my early teens (1970’s) I did see the Aurora Borealis in North West Ohio.

It wasn’t terribly impressive. Just some shimmering white in the sky. Not any of the color you see in pictures from Alaska.

I was summer or early fall as I recall and my father put us in the car and took us out in the country away from the city lights to see it more clearly.

I would love to see it again here in Ohio but I have to sleep tonight and work tomorrow. I would probably have to drive out to boonies as well. Too much light pollution here.

I’ve seen it in NC as a child. It was red. Very vague but red.

Heck, when usenet was ubiquitous, a guy from Michigan would post great photos of auroras. Probably from the UP.

It's supposed to be clear tonight for me, but most auroral displays here at 44.5 N tend to be pale, orange-tinted shifting pleats.
