Being in Maine or NH all my life I’ve seen a few. In a pretty dark sky area now. One, many years ago, was really spectacular - lit up the whole sky with green and red.
Back in the ‘70s my college buddy and I were driving across Canada, pretty much non-stop. Somewhere in Alberta on the trans-Canada highway I was driving and saw an absolutely gorgeous aurora. Pulled the car over and woke my buddy up. Got out of the car and nothing. I was hallucinating. Time to switch drivers.
Beef Jerky Time!
