[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2002324, member: 109862"] intrigued by your story. I get to see northern lights very frequently where I live but I actually did some research just now and while its certainly rare to see them as far south as alabama it’s not at all impossible or unheard of, if solar activity (ie a flare) spikes hard...apparently there was a big solar storm in the mid 1800s that disrupted telegraph communications across the Atlantic and saw visible auroras in places including Hawaii and Singapore. So it’s not impossible that’s what you saw, certainly not laughing at you. Could be some kind of crazy mirage too. Mirages can be downright freaky. edit: another forum member most helpfully identified this 1800s event as “the Carrington event” [/QUOTE]
