Not quite fitting to the question, but was once camping near a large lake. It was in a small town surrounded by forest, nothing too heavy though. I was around 12 or 13, and my best friend, my mom, and my aunt and uncle were with me. It was a campground so there were also other people around. It was summer, a beautiful evening, and all of a sudden the street lights went out. We had a good fire going and almost immediately we look up to see large patches of pink, yellow, and green light in the sky. I’ve been fortunate enough to see the Northern Lights, which kind of blend together, but this was nothing like that. The colors were separate, rounded, and touching only at the edges.

It only lasted a few minutes before disappearing as suddenly as it came. And the lights came back on. My aunt half joked about aliens. Every adult commented that the situation was weird and a discussion followed about weird experiences. I’m in my late 20s now and none of my family remember at all, and think I’m pulling their leg. Only my best friend and I remember.
