Details:
Around 2am LT on June 18th in Bashaw, Alberta, Canada, two phenomena appeared in the astronomical dawn: the aurora borealis and some NLC. The NLCs had faded a bit because of the low elevation of the sun under the horizon, but the aurora was evolving south due to favorable solar data (Bz shifted south after a long period in the north). The arc was forming on the horizon before finally exploding into bright pillars later on (2:30 am). However before it did, a third phenomenon appeared and added itself to the already lucky duo: a meteor burned in the sky. Given its direction (opposite to the milky way core), I assumed it might either have come from Theta Ophichids or Sagittarids. What a spectacle not soon forgotten!
