Is this some alien death ray?

I just saw something unusual in the night sky, and was wondering if anyone knows what this is/what caused it. This was observed at about 9:30 PM above the Ithaca, NY area. There were several long, wide areas of pale red light (perhaps something to do with light clouds??). They had a NW/SE orientation, and appeared to be drifting in an east to west direction. The sun had been down for about 3 hours, and there wasn't any moon. I've lived here for 45 years and never seen it before. It was quite pretty, but puzzling!

“Chinese missiles, just like the one on the West Coast..”
Hehehe. How damn stupid was that. A ballistic missile.....right off our coast without reaction.
INSANE. Quick glimpses at YouTube were perfectly clear.
The abject stupidity of some people.....oy, vey.

Just a few poison chem trails. Nothing to worry about. They spray us every other day here in GA. Learn to embrace the madness. LOL!!!

The sun has above average activity right now. Been that way for a couple of months. Which is a good thing, we do not want very many winters like the past three. Its activity however is a little late to help us this winter. We will see a lot of pretty lights at night. This is good. Means we have stopped cooling. Now for the sun to just keep cranking for a year or two and we might just get some significant warming and get back to mild winters. But then, the next solar minimum follows and even NASA predicts the next maximum to be weak. So enjoy the light shows while they last, cause they may disappear for quite awhile.

Don't know what you saw, but about 25 years ago, here in Michigan I saw red northern lights. Usually on rare occasions when you can see them in Michigan they are usually pale green...my son came in the house and said to come outside the sky had red moving strips. Aurora Borelasis /sp but it wasn't shafts of light, more like dancing lights. The only time I have ever seen that.

Oh wow!...I looked at all the shots of those reporting across the globe. They all say pretty much this was the brightest they have seen. The photos were fabulous of this site! Thanks for the link! Great show!
