I've been hearing this aurora reports, and it got me thinking. Last night (04/06), around 2015 local (0015 GMT), I was admiring the conjunction of the absoutely beautiful cresent moon, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars. I had just stopped looking in my binoculars, and in the west, these really red clouds came in! At 0010 GMT, it had covered most of the sky! I thought it was a combination of the sunset and clouds, but could this have been an aurora? When I came back olut at 0100, the sky was completely dark. Saturn's brightness seemed unaffected by this cloud. If it was an aurora, it is my first sighting of one, for I live at only 39.706 degrees north. ================================================================ Jonathan T.
