"Mysterious, Glowing Clouds Appear Across America’s Night Skies" - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Here's a bit:

"Mysterious, glowing clouds previously seen almost exclusively in Earth’s polar regions have appeared in the skies over the United States and Europe over the past several days.

Photographers and other sky watchers in Omaha, Paris, Seattle, and other locations have run outside to capture images of what scientists call noctilucent (”night shining”) clouds. Formed by ice literally at the boundary where the earth’s atmosphere meets space 50 miles up, they shine because they are so high that they remain lit by the sun even after our star is below the horizon."

Beautiful, and yet a little scary, if it means what they think it does.

Fantastic! Wish I could see something like that.

It's always been my dream to go to Norway and watch the Northern Lights...
