Re: [APML] Southern Lights???

Bob, et al.

A member of our local astronomy club , www.bas-astro.com , posted an 
excellent aurora report. I'm waiting to get his permission before 
posting it here. BTW we are in Birmingham Alabama, around 34 degrees 
North latitude.

Perhaps the aurora on the southern horizon you saw was caused by an 
annomally in the Earth's magnetic field?
 A gross supposition on my part, based on watching the NOVA program 
"Magnetic Storm" last Tuesday on my local PBS station. Did anyone else 
watch it?
