Darn, I wish I'd have known about this.

I've seen them once in Utah--Lake Powell of all places!!! This was back in the late 90's. I was on a paragliding trip with some friends and we were boat towing up to altitude and flying the area. Later, I was walking late night to my car. To the north I saw what I first thought was fire (from a distance). But when it covered the entire northern sky, I figured out what it was. I was amazed! I've never seen anything so beautiful. Those dancing colors were spectacular. The fact that I saw them so far south was pretty spectacular as well. Years later I looked it up because I was a bit skeptical, but sure enough, there was a way-larger-than-normal magnetic "event" that night and the northern lights were visible down into Arizona and southern California. For natural phenomena and beauty, that is at the top of my list. Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera with me at the time. But I sure spent a long time staring at the sky in amazement that night.
