Time:                   10:15 pm for approximately one hour

 

Description:           "Initially it looked like a full moon rising.  Then in the 

                              center of the sky it began an active display, shooting

                              spears of mostly white light, then curtains of light.

                               In the center it looked like a vortex of clouds, pulsing with  

                               repeating shapes.

 

                              Throught an hours time the display shifted west and grew       

                              red and finally in the south, with both diluted red and green 

                               colors.
