who can describe what the aurora borealis A.K.A. northern lights are like stoned?

what was the feeling when you saw it for the first time?

creepy?

mystical?

exciting?

tranquil?

You should try waving a white sheet at it. When i was a kid mom and dad told me that if you waved a white sheet at it, it would come down from the skye and chase you. I've tried it and weird things started happening. Who knows......

I was on 2cb when it was here


I cant explain it, made me cry!

Last year at this time I was on a military flight to Antarctica for the U.S Antarctic Program to stay a year at the South Pole and McMurdo.
I was really looking forward to seeing the Southern Lights.

Unfortunately the physcial and phyc. exams are very intense. I passed both and was packed and on a C-131 heading out when a Government Doctor called me back because he found a 1mm kidney stone, (very small) that he initially missed on CT scan.

Said he didnt want to risk it because if it decided to pass there would be no way to evacuate in the extreme winter.

I was really looking forward to being just 1 of 50 people on a Continent the size of the United States and Mexico put together.

Oh well. They said I could get it removed and come back.

There is a cool image database on the site, there is a picture of Southern lights on there. www.polar.org

Last time i saw the northern lights i deffinately wasnt stoned cuz i was pretty young, but i'll never forget the site, it was spectacular... kinda makes you feel insignificant lol :D

Just Awe-inspiring
