Last night, I was walking home after buying some beer at a gas station. As I got closer to my neighborhood, I saw a bright red light in the sky over the treeline. The strange part was that near the bottom of the bright light, it was more yellowish and then green near the trees. It looked like a great fire in the distance, but it would've had to be far away. I heard no fire trucks. There was no smoke.
I started taking pictures, but the capture of it was too dark. I would've taken video, but the video on my cell phone would've been darker than the camera. The light was much brighter than the original photos. Not as bright as the brightness filters, but much brighter than the original photo. I tried using settings on my phone to compensate the darkness, but that didn't help.
I took 3 photos from around the same location in a parking lot, and another in my neighborhood, when I got to it. The light was moving away by this point. I had taken a 5th photo, but that got obscured by streetlight. Although, that was after I crossed over train tracks and into another area, whereby that point it had traveled further back into the woods, near a recent highway development.
If you look at the photos, there are concentrations of yellow in certain sections of intensity, after brightening them. When I was looking at it, the red light was cloaked by low flying clouds, and the clouds behind me were much higher in the sky.
After walking at regular pace to chase it through my neighborhood, through the woods, and into another area, it was too far to chase down. I was rationalizing it as much as I could while following it. But the distance I walked and the sound of no sirens or signs of smoke was too much to rationalize. I waited until today to check to see if there was a report of fire in my town, but none near where I was.
When the brightness filters were added to the photos, it's looks more like there was an intense concentration of red in the center of fogginess, but when I saw it, the red light reached out further and was blocked by low flying clouds. In the photos there's an intensity or a concentration of red light, but from what I saw, the red light was intense for quite a distance, obscuring a central location.
Make of it what you want. I just wanted to share the photos.

The aurora is visible to much of the southern US this week.
That is the Aurora Borealis. It was visible across the United States last night. We had a huge geomagnetic storm. Very rare occurrence.
It’s the northern lights.
Northern lights 🙂 don’t have the ability to attach an image otherwise I’d show you the ones I took last night.
His has to be an AI post right?
