When seeing "red" aurorae at Pole, the most

Ohio, but those were caused by a different specific transition than
red fringes. One of the oddest ones I saw last year was like a tube
of Aquafresh had been squirted across the sky - horizon to horizon, a
narrow (twice the width of the moon) wavy ribbon that was green,
white, and red. I'd never seen the red that concentrated before.
You guys are lucky. Here in California, the only atmospheric oddity we
ever see are from the residues of the occasional rocket launches from
local AFBs. It's even better when they have to abort and the rocket is
terminated :)
