Re: Was it a bird, was it a plane.............
.........was it a chemical leak from the gas plants at Fort Saskatchewan.......?
Er, no.................we saw the NORTHERN LIGHTS last night !!!!
Chuffed to little pieces, as its the first time we have EVER seen it, and we weren't up in the Yukon or Northwest Territories either.....we stood out on our deck. !
No photo's , as my camera isn't up to the job, but the lights glowed green and moved and pulsated, and changed shape in front of our eyes.
Pretty darn cool !
Anyone else share our experience?? It was around 10pm last night.

We've seen the northern lights quite a few times in the 3 years we've been here - again we're near Edmonton, just 15mins west. They are beautiful
Shooting stars are quite common here too - if you keep a look out - and hubby saw a big meteor blazing through the sky a couple of years ago when we were camping in Hinton. As big as a car he said - you could see the firey trail and everything - amazing I missed it - had just gone to bed...

All these 'firsts' are pretty special. We have seen Bears, Coyotes, Moose, Mounties and now the Northern Lights. Just need Polar Bears and a big old whale and we are truly Canadianised.

Try a skunk living under the floor of your garage. Then you'll really have been marked as Canadian !

Yup !
Happened to me some time ago.
Got a Pest Control Contractor to catch them and turn them loose in the country except for one that a lady took for a pet.
At least she won't be bothered by prowlers or intruders.
