I remember the first time I saw those lights I was small on a trip with my mom....remember being scared not knowing what they were till mom told me about them, now I think they are just beautiful...I have some neat pictures from places we've been but none compare to the beauty of those lights that yoopr posted here.........

ever see "Fire in the sky?"- supposed to be true; NOT saying I believe it, but it was an interesting movie.

You guys ever see things like that or maybe even stranger things you can't explain?
It's a bird, It's a plane, no wait, it's a bedliner out of a pickup truck flying through the air!!!

I've tried to take photos of Northern Lights but I think you need a pretty good camera with Time Delay shutter speed.

Balls of Fire are real but I have not seen any. They usually happen so high in the air, they are basically just about outside Earth's reaches and are rarely seen. I have seen a Lightning ball of fire. That is absolutely freaky.

Saw the Space Shuttle one morning when it was coming in for a landing from my home in VA. Could just barely see it with the naked eye.

I once saw a Rainbow and found the end of it, but the dang green little troll had already stolen all the gold in the pot. It was cool though, I was standing at a jobsite with 2 other guys and got to noticing a rainbow, we started following it out of the sky and realized we were standing in it.
