I had one of the most fantastic views ever of the lights. While flying in the cockpit of a L1011 at about 33000 feet, I saw the most beautiful and impressive display of blue and green lights in the Northern sky. We had just passed Chicago enroute to San Francisco and the time was about 2300 Chicago time. I dont think anyone in that cockpit said a word for at least half an hour. Thats one flight I will never ever forget.
