Yes, we see the northern lights a few times each year. Often you don't see them unless you're up around 2 a.m. or so. I've seen a couple of "displays" that really stick out in my mind. Most times, the lights dance across the northern sky just as you have described... like a curtain. That can be quite spectacular. But a couple of times I've seen very chaotic-looking displays where the light was more like wiggling bands or rivers of light over a large area of the sky. Very surreal... And then there was one display that seemed much too crazy to be real... I saw it while walking out to the barn to check on the animals late one evening when the comet was in the sky in...was it the spring of '97(??) Anyhow, the moon was a perfect crescent on the northwest horizon, the comet was shining brightly somewhere to the north, and the northern lights were dancing around to the north east... Sort of looked like a Salvador Dali painting... talk about overkill... (-:
