Re: Northern Lights
From RANGERAIRBORNE | 11/06/2001 7:30:58 AM PST read
Yes, great Auroral display this early morning- but I'm in Anchorage right now, and the "light pollution" makes any decent photography pretty much impossible.
A few years ago, though. I was operating an airfield for an oil company at a very remote location on the North Slope. I was out checking the lights and plowing the runway, when I saw the most spectatular Aurora I have ever witnessed. It was a brillant mixture of bright red and green, in a "whirlpool" shape, rotating over my head.
I have never seen anything like it before or since- it was like being inside a tornado made of light. (Or a little like the final scene in "CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND", when the Mother Ship lands- but much better.)
I actually went into the camp and woke up all 50 or so workers (many of them from Texas and Louisiana) and told them to come outside to catch this once-in-a lifetime experience. Most did.
By the way, on a cold, clear night with a bright Aurora, you can actually HEAR it- sort of a "crackling" sound.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.
I really enjoyed and got many laughs from your Dad's pithy posts. He will be sorely missed.

My Dad passed away about a year and a half ago.
He was an old WWII soldier. Army Infantry, 88th,
351st in Italy. So sorry for your loss. I miss
Daddy and know how it is when we lose our parents.
My Mom has been gone four and a half years. I miss
them both.
