tinfoilhat Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 So I am sat here, on a deckchair outside the flat with my laptop, with ice on my snozzle for nothing? Weather bloke on look north says you can see them tonight and had piccies from Scarborough and somewhere else last night showing them. So man up !!

Rampent Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 OMG, i saw that too. It was like a light in the sky that was moving n'lot then it turned around and went woosh. This one just stood in the sky. And then made a farting sound, and moved to the left, and vanished. I tried to video it, but the batterys went flat. I will never recover, thinking of David Icke offering serious notes for the betamax footage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farslad Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I was due to get the last train from Newcastle to Sheffield on Sunday night but it got cancelled. I seen the northern lights along the Northumberland coatsline in the early hours of Monday morning. Which was a bit special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbbt Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Seems we may be in for a display due to a massive solar storm coming our way... what you saw in Northumberland was the first solar flare... http://news.sky.com/home/world-news/article/16155160 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alas_alas Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 And here I come expecting some accurate and reliable advice about the Northern Lights.... Has anyone got any tips on getting to see the Lights around Sheffield, or close by? Would you have to drive up to Northumberland to get a look? Had a scan last night but all I could see was the yellow pallor of light pollution over the city centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a scan last night but all I could see was the yellow pallor of light pollution over the city centre. The lights are very subtle, and being in a light polluted city make observing them very difficult if not impossible. The further north you travel to see them the better chance you have, though if you can't do that you'd at least need to get out to a "dark sky" site, my viewing of them was out at mayfield where the skies are much darker than in down town Sheffield.

jackmarr Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Just wondered if it's possible to see some sort of northern lights in sheffield? I was out loading my van at 5:45 this morning and in the far distance the sky was glowing and changing brightness for about 5 minutes. I thought it was distant sheet lightening to start with, but it was far softer than that and didn't go from light to dark quickly, it just kinda wobbled? I live in Crookes and was looking out over Hillsborough. i have been told to look out tonight for Northern lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
