Have You Ever Seen the Aurora Borealis/Northern Lights?

We saw them in the Northwest Territories, absolutely beautiful, nature's light show.

When I was a kid, growing up in southwest Missouri in the 50's, we used to see the northern lights occasionally. Over the years I guess the atmosphere has got so polluted that they are not visible anymore. At least I haven't seen them for many years and I still live within 50 miles of where I grew up.

same here ,I live in The far east of Canada and we see them on the rare night if you want to sit and wait long enough

I've never seen the Northern Lights before, but I want to visit Canada soon. I've already found free accommodation in Montreal. I read that the 'Aurora Oval' covers the majority of the country, including the provinces of Yukon, Northern Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and British Columbia. So I hope with the right conditions I'll be able to see the Northern Lights in Canada.

I live in nova scotia and its a rare event here [best part of Canada is the Northern Provinces ]we usually get a warning from the weather Lady on ATV when its going to be a good tile to see them ,,usually a 50/50 chance of no clouds and we get a quick look !! usually just some big flickers of colored light ,disappointing if you sit and wait a few hrs to see them

I've only seen it on videos and images.
