Report of Aurora Observation

Time 21:00 Western Standard Time 29 May 2003
     13:00 UTC  29 May 2003

Location:  ~20 km South  of Perth (Suburb of North Lake, WA)
Lat: 32 S  Long 115 55' E

Sky essential clear.

I originally assumed the aurora to be cloud.  It appeared as long bending filaments 
about 2-3 finger widths (with arm extended) stretching from the southern horizon northwards to the zenith.  The bends were upto a palm width (arm extended).  They appeared green in colour, although colour was difficult to determine as the street is lit by mercury lamps.
