Details:
I've attached a series of images of an aurora/STEVE/contrail(?) sighting at Kennecott, Alaska. While photographing auroras I noticed an east-west arc which was moving south. The images were taken just after midnight Alaska time and approximately 17 secs apart (15 sec exposure). The images were taken while looking to the east.
At first I thought it was STEVE, but it didn't behave similar to another STEVE which I photographed earlier this year... and then I thought maybe it is just a contrail. But after reviewing the images on the computer I'm wondering if this is just a strange pink aurora? I've been imaging the Aurora Borealis in Alaska since 2011 and have not seen anything like this before. Perhaps it's just a cloud (strangest cloud I've ever seen)!?!
