               SUMMARY OF GROUND-BASED AURORAL ACTIVITY SIGHTINGS
               --------------------------------------------------

               (Sightings are preliminary and may be unverified)

0700 UTC - (N145.58 W064.08) - Delta Junction, Alaska 
           Comments: Saw the New Moon rise around 9pm out of the ESE, didn't
           expect to see the Aurora with how bright the moon was.  Around 11pm
           last night, I looked outside and sure enough I saw a faint green
           arc across the northern sky.  By 1130pm,  it got brigher and the
           stars behind it faded away.  It was a nice 20 degree wide arc with
           an embedded curtain.  A few times it would appear almost directly
           overhead. Colorwise, mostly green, but towards 1140pm, the bottom
           portion of the curtain turned red!  It dissappeared towards
           midnight and the moon was getting higher in the sky.
