The phenomenon had all the ap pearance at first of northern lights or the aurora horealls. Karly In the evening the lights had a reddish hue hut later they were pale light whisps Of smoke At times they fairly danc ed across Ihe sky and at other times the took the form of laterals or per pendicular ribbons.
