It was the early 1980s, I was in New York City walking to work. It was early in the morning and the sky suddenly lit up green and purple. The sky colors wavered and rippled. It was beautiful, awesome, strange, and scary all at once. Being from the Deep South all my life and a recent transfer to NYC, I didn't know what the heck was going on until I got to work and everyone was talking about the aurora borealis happening in their piece of the sky that could be seen through the buildings in Manhattan. Everyone was amazed and excited to see one so far south (in NYC).
