It does seem to be a quite good year for them. We had several good sightings over Northern Alaska / Bering Strait a few nights ago. I say several because now you see them now you don't, maybe we should call them leprechaun lights. Of similar interest is the curved ionised glow surrounding them, and realising that it's the top of the atmosphere.
A few cynical passengers thought that they were just city lights, but there was nuthin up there except the North Pole - Santa left the lights on?
Regards,
Old Smokey
