hamateur 1953 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I saw these green/white spokes converging directly overhead May10-11 2024 and apparently @3gMike did also! We live in different countries so it probably is a latitude thing. I also have a close friend who described nearly the same thing. Btw 3g didn’t see any or much green in these. I had never heard of these prior to seeing them and have been wondering if anyone knows the why and how of them. Tnx. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Popular Post Parabolic Posted August 10 Solution Popular Post Share Posted August 10 (edited) It might have been picket fencing. This normally only happens during severe geomagnetic storming and can also proceed before STEVE appears.

I wonder if it will only be observable during severe geomagnetic storms. And why do those whitish colors appear? It's a very curious phenomenon that I never noticed before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamateur 1953 Posted August 11 Author Share Posted August 11 If 3g hadn’t seen them also I probably wouldn’t have brought it up here. I have never seen them in any photos that’s for sure! 😇😳 It actually looked as though the point of convergence was directly overhead. Not as green as @Parabolic shows though. His are prettier though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His are prettier though!! The times I've seen them they were mostly lateral and definitely more opaque than what's referenced above. They resembled picket fence posts almost perfectly or like a palisado crown even. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamateur 1953 Posted August 11 Author Share Posted August 11 Parabolic idea sounds good to me but I would love more comments on these things. I had an ear to ear silly grin on my face for three days I was so awestruck by their beauty. 😳😎 https://www.space.com/steve-aurora-powered-by-electrons.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
