Well, the folks at CBS 3 say last night’s fancy sky event was definitely not an aurora, nor was it a freaky meteor shower. They claim it was a virga.
I’d never heard of a virga before, but, well, these guys are paid to know what the sky’s up to, so I’m willing to believe it.
It was really awesome, either way.
I thought it was the light of the moon that was making it brighter, not the incidental light. But you might’ve just been to far south to see it. It was definitely southeast of us.
Or you might’ve been smart enough to not be standing around outside in the cold ;)
