Details:
Shortly after sunset I noticed strange bright clouds over the horizon. They were not iridescent though brighter than any tropospheric clouds. About 20 minutes after sunset, they almost looked like noctilucent clouds and noticeably lit up the surroundings. About 40 minutes after sunset they slowly disappeared. You can see a timelapse video of the observation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rayZFEudH0I The images were taken from about 10 minutes to 40 minutes after sunset.

Very good observations! It is great to see how the PSC afterglow resebles that of the volcanic sunsets afterglow (Probably for being at similar altitude and maybe being somewhat similar in composition too).
