I have heard of the Northern light appearing as blood red and is considered that this is a sign of bad omens. This appeared in 1939 right before Hitler invaded Poland.
The only time I have seen the Northern Lights was in North Texas one winter morning.
Sometime during the mid 60’s a friend and his father, and me and my father went on a camping and fishing trip in north western Quebec. The fishing was fantastic, and the weather was perfect. On our last night we were having a fish fry, pike and walleye. Around 11:00 pm the night sky just became a show like I’ve never seen. Brilliant colors swerving and flashing around. We were planning to do a bit of fishing the next morning before packing up. My dad who was from Minnesota and had seen the northern lights many times said, you won’t catch anything until tomorrow or so, after the lights. We tried, but he was right. Not a bite.
Wow, I had no idea -- thanks for that info! I find that type of stuff fascinating.
