We probably had a sky like this in Estonia last night but it was all cloudy and I didn't see a thing. I saw some photos taken in eastern Estonia where thinner clouds were. The glow was intense even through the clouds and all over the sky.
What you gonna do, December is almost always cloudy here.
I suppose you've had the Lights before but here, it scared the sh*t out of those who saw it, Bulgaria is pretty down South, and I hear lots of biblical comment on the social nets :)
Yeah, it's been quite a regular sight here recently.
Lol, well I can imagine that people who have no idea what is or have never seen it might think this is something bad haha.
Lol, yeah, Earth magnetic protection still on and working, and now - visible there too :)
The planet is definitely changing though.
The current high aurora activity is tied to the 11 year solar cycles. After every 11 years sun magnetic fields flip.
This creates low and high activity periods. At the moment we are nearing a high activity point, peaking in 2024/2025 so a lot of activity is still to come. This means violent explosions on the sun and towards us in the form of particles, therefore resulting in storms strong enough you can even see in the south.
Funny you say it, as there was a special documentary on a national TV channel and they said exactly this.
Then a PhD shows and explains there was a big HAARP experiment at the same time but "it was not enough powerful to cause that by itself. But maybe a combination.". Well, I am not a conspiracy theorist but it still makes me think :)
I need to check out what this experiment is about, have not heard about it before.
As far as I know it includes exactly causing artificial Aurora and researching it :)
Of course, there are plenty of conspiracy theories, that in fact it is military funded and purposed.
Moreover, there was, probably still is, a similar Soviet/now Russian research program.
