Having lived in NH my entire life, I'm happy to say I've seen the Aurora Borealis twice. The first time was while at an outdoor field party in 1971 or 72. Someone pointed over my head and said "The Northern Lights!" Well, as most of us had never seen them before, out came a compass, and indeed, the light show was due north. It danced and swayed for several minutes, in shades of blues and greens, like a rippling ocean in the sky. Again, around 1989. We had been told to expect the Northern Lights if the sky was clear, so we waited on the edge of a huge sandpit, facing north. Not late into the night, the show did not disappoint! This show more in reds and orange/yellow for the most part. Like the glow of a distant fire. Just awesome.
