That's similar to what I saw in Maine. I almost didn't see it. 
It was like a hazy night with the moon out. I went out to try 
figure out where the moon was and realized the whole sky was glowing. 
Studying the haze I could make out streamers and pulsing shapes but 
no colors. It was white like moonlight and bright.
