               --------------------------------------------------

               (Sightings are preliminary and may be unverified)

0106 UTC - (N44.25 W090.00) - 9 E. Janesville, WI 
           Comments: Faint green arc visible about 15 degrees off northern
           horizon.  It is early in the evening, and hopefully intensity will
           increase yet! 
 
0125 UTC - (N45.75 W094.50) - McGregor, MN 
           Comments: The bright cloud surprised me tonight while driving home.
           It was featureless but quite bright. I stopped and photographed it
           and, sure enough, it glowed green. Hooray!   
           A few short-lived rays were visible along the horizon about an hour
           ago but they have disappeared. 
 
0150 UTC - (N43.00 W084.50) - East of St. Johns, Michigan 
           Comments: A nice aurora arc developed ray activity at about UT
           02:45.  The rays continued active for about 20 minutes before the
           display weakened. 
 
0200 UTC - (N43.43 W080.23) - Fergus, Ontario, Canada 
           Comments: Diffused green glow visible through clouds. This was
           greater when breaks in clouds were seen. 
 
0300 UTC - (N43.28 W076.33) - Oswego NY 
           Comments: Its good to finally get a sighting here in Oswego, Might
           go out to the lake again later to see if theyt are good again. 
 
0718 UTC - (N68.25 W153.75) - Fairbanks, Alaska
