My first noctilucent
cloud sighting in southern Alberta! Was just about to head
for bed and took one last look to the north for anything
that might be there, and there they were! A beautiful clear
sky this morning and the summer sun already brightening
the northern horizon at 3am made a beautiful sight. Amazing
blue streams pouring from west to east.

I believe this
is a noctilucent cloud about 1 hour before sunrise.

These NLCs
were so bright, they even caught the attention of streetwalkers
under the city lights! After some evenings with faint NLCs
in Hungary this display was a real happiness for the observers!

at around 2345h
UT I watched the Northern sky brighten, like an artist's
canvas being prepared, and out of the glow slowly appeared
the structures and form of all the NLC types (I,II,III,
and IV). They were bright - 4 on the NLC brightness scale.
I watched and imaged them over the next 2 hours.

The first really great NLC display here in Sweden but it was worth the wait. So very beautiful and it is fascinating to see the movement of the "clouds", different structures and shapes.

A particular
section of this Noctlucent Cloud display stratched down
to the horizon just before local midnight, and was noticeably
brighter than the rest of the display for about half an
hour before disappearing. I think this may be a "noctilucent
sun pillar"!

Well, I'm speechless.
This has been the brightest display ever in Hungary. I guess
you'll get a lot of photos from my country today. Now I
really understand why their name is nocti-LUCENT. They were
shining in the sky in their most beautiful neon-blue colour.
Yesterday's display was nothing, compared to this.
