A very interesting night...

[anonymous]

I am writing to find out what exactly my boyfriend and I saw at 4-5am on 
Aug. 12. It look like the aurora borealis was coming together over our 
heads here in Waterloo, ON, Canada. There were also around 30 or more 
"shooting stars" within our line of sight. The reason I say a. borealis is 
because the fluctuating clouds were coloured green at some instances. The 
clouds looked like the reflection of light off a low wave on a pond with 
the same rippling effect as though they were moving towards a point above 
our heads. If you could explain this phenomenon to my satisfaction it would 
be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.
