Northern Lights Give
Bright, Colorful Show
Shimmering ares and flery eurtains of red, green and white blazed
across the sky in a dazzling phenomenon known as the northern lights
or aurora borealis Monday night.
Sky-gazera throughout Fairborn and most of the e nation observed the
morthern lights which normally are seen at high latitudes.
The lights observed in points as scattered as Boston, New
York, Des Moin Okia., Nashville,
Tann., Seattle, soot as Vero Bagch,
Ma.
One person living in the Wright View area called the Daily Herald
after noting the red sky to know if Fairborn had a big fire.
.The unusually intense display had marked effect on radio trans-
alission and teletype wires. Radio hams in the Minneapolis area re-
ported they were unable to operate during the display.
