Have you ever seen an Aurora Borialis and if yes what was it like?

Question

I recently read about one in a book, "Witch Child", and it seemed really fascinating.

Answer 1

The northern lights are really neat. To describe what they look like would be like trying to describe what a waterfall with multiple rainbows looks like to someone who has never seen one. The best way to describe it would be for you to find a picture of it. Usually they are blue and green, but sometimes their is multiple colors including red, yellow, and purple. After finding a still shot of it, picture the colors coming alive and sweeping around like a lightweight curtain dancing around an open window with a breeze. Imagine also that in each wisp, there is a cascading waterfall creating ripples of color and shades of motion. They are like plants underwater, swaying back and forth with the current. You are in awe at the majesty of it all, and wonder why you would ever want to leave Alaska.

Answer 2

There are those that say the Aurora Borialis is the theatre curtains of the Universe.

Answer 3

Yes I have been fortunate enough to see the 'Northern Lights' and it was gorgeous and awe inspiring...it looks like an undulating curtain of colors up in the night sky...just wonderful...I have been so lucky in my life! But it doesn't look real, that is how beautiful it is...

Answer 4

It looks like green and blue curtains rustling in the wind in the sky. They can be red yellow, orange, green, blue and other colors, too, but I've only seen green and blue ones. Google for them and you can see tons of pictures.

Answer 5

It was like looking at a multi-colored rainbow that could be seen in both daylight and darkness... And how it preforms right before your very eyes... It is both beautiful and mysterious at the very same time...............................................
