Living in Minnesota I’ve seen them before, usually only by getting out of town away from the light pollution, but I’ve never seen them like last night! They were right over my house in the middle of Minneapolis, and they were bright red! Wow!

NE Kansas last night was a circus full of amazing! I had never seen them. What a show! Apparently they are never too much if seen here but we felt like we were in them. We were out driving down our road from the horse barn and they just swallowed us when we finally accepted that was what we were seeing! Don't give up too early eather, these darned things move around . Amazing, I feel like it was almost a religious experience, if I believed in that.

Tiny Wakarusa, Kansas was dancing and bouncing all over the place.
