Details:
About nine hours ago I was out for a drive at work. We’d finished up early so I went out to chase auroras. They’ve been fairly active the last few nights with consistent displays and a lot of red tips that weren’t visible to the naked eye. Anyhow, I pulled off at a storage pad to shoot some mud box stacks and saw something I’ve never seen before and am hoping you can enlighten me. In the first picture I took over the mud boxes I saw a lone, red, cylindrically shaped bit of aurora that struck me as strange. I recomposed thinking it might have been a deviant light blip. Still there in the ensuing photos. I turned my camera directly overhead and caught some more. I’ve been photographing the aurora for over a decade and have seen countless hundreds of not a thousand plus displays between my job on the north slope and south central Alaska and have never seen anything like this.
