Despite the pilot's doubts about the green glow: "the strange green glow that was all over the Northern Hemisphere. I think it was sort of a Northern Lights but it was much more dispersed, never seen anything like this before.." I reckon from the photographs that it is indeed Aurora ( you can get "all sky" aurora if you're in the right place at the right time, sometimes it's diffuse.., sometimes it isn't and is very impressive).

That said I really have no idea about the red glow.
