    Hi Ziggy .I have been very fortunate to see the Aurora Borealis several times as i was sailing between
    Finland ,Norway,Sweden,Iceland, for about three years . it was a wonderous and Magical Experience .
    Did you Know that When the Shapes ,colours ,formations change ,There is a sound, A SWISH when the formations change. you can hear this on a very still night. it is like a firework display without the noise.
    my first experience of the Phenomenon, i thought i had been drinking to much Brennevin :roll:.
    music :cool:.

    Blimey Music, 3 years & no one found you on the radar !! Sounds like Ripley in Aliens, when she drifted right through the core systems whilst in suspended animation.:help:

    A sound !!! Wow, never expected that, fantastic.

    I had that problem when i had to negotiate a swamp in Devon, in the middle of the night on the first night the local pub served me whiskey, think i was 13, I encountered phosphoresent fungus on a rotting log for the first time.:usr:

    Hi Ziggy, the ships i sailed on were VERY SLOW:wink:.
    The sound .some people report to hearing a SWISHING sound, they reckon this is caused by electrical impulses??????.
    Some people report CRACKLING sound ,they (the brains that be) say this could be caused by a
    leakage of the electrical impulses from the nerves in the eye into the part of the brain that processes sound :cnfs:. hope you understand this , i will be asking questions later:D.:D

    music :cool:.

    I do understand that music, about pathways getting confused, like when a bright light makes you sneeze, as the nerves share a common pathway.

    Also, when i cracked my temple on the bedside cabinet in the middle of the night, i saw my eye socket lit up in blue light for a split second, recon that could be a similar thing.:pcpunch:
