Indeed it was :-)

And another good display starting about 10.20 for c.10 minutes. Red,
green and white rays coming up from north towards the zenith, breaking
up into patches, then subsiding to the a large whitish glow occupying
c.50% of the north sky.

Yes to the strike across the sky, the rays and the glow [ they are
wonderful ] - but Tim was out with new toy for Xmas [ telescope ] and no red
or green. :~)) miff

even more curious

"Malcolm" Good view here in Brampton, Cumbria aswell, red and greens,
my first time
!!!


Why are we not seeing it in ARgyll??
Clearish skies

You can't have been looking in the right direction :-)

:~))
Its that a way init :~))
Granted I was involved at the earlier time but Tim caught it ---
definately
none of the colours that others have been describing


It was probably at its peak from about 7.00 to 7.15 or so. Mainly a
white glow to the north, sometimes tinged red, with whitish streamers
across the zenith, plus irregular reddish and greenish patches and glows
to the north. They didn't last long, but there was still a whitish glow
to the north for the next hour.


Yup --- mostly pale riders --- white glows

How come 'em doon sooth get such stunners ?

sulk
It would be great to toast a good sky

Indeed it was :-)

We raised a sip of mead to the later appearance

Still very very jealous of the visions others saw

- what made the difference ?
Too far north ?
Too bright a moon ?
There seemed to be some cloud for refraction/ reflection?

curious

Are my eye decieving me or can I see the Aurora to the North West here in
Beverley East Yorkshire.


Someone please tell me I'm not going mad or over-reacting!

No sean, your eyes were not deceiving you. I saw a lot of reds, greens, and
the occasional yellows too. I was on the way to an astronomy meeting at
Scarborough and it was obvious from the roads north of Bridlington...

Lets just say it more than Victor Meldrew, and not quite as good as the
three letter s-word! ;-)
