Noctilucent Clouds are the joy of summer. Often missed by pilots, the same ones that see them blindly every summer, they are nevertheless there to be seen. Why not participate in observing them? You are not alone. There is a cordinated effort.

The "Noctilucent Cloud: Observers' Homepage" is where you should look. Their links are up to date, good and plentiful. Try:

CaptainSandL,

No its not AfterGlow, not "Sprites" from CBs, not aurora, not rocket stuff. Simply seasonal polar clouds at about 50 miles. Too faint to see at day. Too north to see from south. Stuck in the bad weather or under populated region of high north (or far south in winter) where pilots have the BEST viewing oportunities. The viewing season is late May to early August so time is running out! Enjoy.
