Have you been fortunate enough to have seen an auroral event? If so, care to share your experience, i.e., where did you see it? What color or colors did it display? All told, what was your reaction to it, emotionally, spiritually, or otherwise?

We saw the aurora once a few years ago from Southern New Mexico. When we first saw it from the front of our house, we thought that our barn was on fire. The sky was lit up a vivid red and while observing it we noticed other more subtle colors. The Aurora is an unusual occurance for this area and coincided with a lot of sunspot activity. What kind of changes are anticipated in the Auroras from the apparent impending reversal of the Earths magnetic field?

The work of Kristan Birkeland is rarely ever mentioned and his terella experiments that reproduced the aurora is even more rarely ever spoken of because that information put forth a clear and indesputable challange to modern thinking about the nature of the sun and how the earth interacts with it. The public and students are not served by such programing that elaborates on scientific dogma and ignores the pioneers of plasma- cosmology who have had the answers for many decades. We live in an electric universe.

I hope you saw the same display as the one i saw in spring of 2001, it developed into white streamers that extended to the south and spanned from horizon to horizon, east to west link a picket fence. This even was initially reported as a consequence of an extreme CME (coronal mass ejection). I hope you took pictures, my hasty video attempt didn't show anything other than static. If so could you share them? These extreme auroras can be found in the petroglyph record around the globe along with other plasma discharge phenomena. A visit to http://public.lanl.gov/alp/plasma/TheUniverse.html will bring you into many aspects of plasma research among which is the mapping and evaluation of petroglyphs and their many features which are directly related to high energy plasma discharges made in the lab. this is science at its finest but remain ignored by PBS and other media sources because of the politics of science. Our children are not being given the full benefit of what has been discovered through the honest scientific investigations of people who present alternative conclusions backed by high quality science. e-s-s Back to top e-spark-scars Joined: 17 Jul 2008 Posts: 3  Posted: Thu Jul 17, 2008 1:07 am    Post subject: Re: Space Storms Diane Barron wrote: Loved the show.
