Details:
I went looking for aurora tonight as astronomical twilight set in. The Aurora was apparent as soon as I got set up along the Yellowstone River. Two bright bands paralleling each other ran across the sky from the NE to the NW. Approximately 11pm MDT, tall pillars began reaching high into the sky to well over 60 degrees. This lasted about 10-15 minutes before retreating, and afterwards I relocated to a hilltop nearby for a different vantage point. Approx 12:40 MDT the aurora once again greatly invigorated (to a much greater extent then previously), and filled over half the sky with brightness and naked eye visible reds. Incredible rapid pulses and flashing (I captured real time video) was noted in different regions of the aurora throughout this event. Possibly another substorm?
