July 26, 2004 - Alerted by a phone call we rushed out to Island View Beach to see if we could spot yet another night of aurora. When we arrived we could see a shimmering green glow but sadly it subsided. Minutes later just before midnight we noticed a what appeared to be a contrail in the East which twirled into a V shape. In time a ribbon of light spanned the East and West horizons. The view is overhead at the zenith with the aurora passing through the Summer Triangle.
