Yes, I've seen them many times from here in southern Canada, and they are indeed awesome. No pictures can convey what they're actually like: huge curtains of glowing iridescence, constantly moving and flicker! Mostly green but sometimes a brilliant red or pink. I hope you get to see them sometime.

Yes, but I saw it at temperate lattitudes, so it was pretty weak. I will get up to alaska to see them first hand.
I was stationed at Ft. Richardson Alaska for 2 and 1/2 years. I have spent hours watching them until my neck was sore. The best is when they are not just green but multi-colored. It is like a giant ribbon in the sky constantly being twisted. They make guard duty go by much faster!

They are one of my favorite things about my time in Alaska.
I saw it in North London. It was awesome, red and yellow bands of colour dancing really fast across the sky. Just the thing to make you think somebody slipped you some LSD. Very unusual this far south.
