I sure saw a glow in the northern sky last night.

Around 2:30am, it was before dawn

The sky looked almost electrically charged, but not moving or changing
like northern lights. Don't normally see northern lights anyway, since
i'm in south-west england

I speculated it might have been high altitude clouds with the bright
moon shining off


There was a nice display of NLC at 2am with the northern horizon aglow.
I think you are describing the same (51.5°N).
