content: That's just a story to calm the public - It's a massive solar flare!The end is nig_______...That's a really stunning sight, it's amazing to think that you could see something like that with the naked eye (sadly little chance in that in the damp rainy UK though).

However the one in the video is very strong and complete with the additional element that the view point is elevated and the people are looking horizontally through relatively thick ice fog rather than up at ice clouds. I lived the first 44 years of my life in the frozen hell-hole part of Canada and saw my share of Aurora borealis and sundogs, I am never going back

That’s the tried and tested method as used by the church for the last 500 yearsAll Hail The Glow Cloud!

content: I've seen that before myself, it's very rare, because it requires to be able to see the sun in winter.Pretty surreal when you see it in person though.Another fun thing is light pillars at night. Requires rather specific conditions but seen it a few times. Downside is photography is very hard when it's this cold. Hard on the fingers!
