I’m in the SW corner of the province sitting waiting for legal light and it lit up the area like noon day. It seemed just above me. The tail I saw was green, blue. With red in it. Pretty wild.

I saw it over Calgary this morning. More colors than I've ever seen before including blue, green, orange and yellow. It was incredible.

I was driving to Calgary this morning and saw it south of three hills.
Right front and center of my windshield.
It was frigging spectacular.

I feel truly blessed to be in the right place at the right time.

Crazy .... I was running a little later than usual and heading toward the Henday still on Lessard about 6:30 this am when to SW there it was .... I was kind of surprised at the bright green streak. It was very long, bright and there was no way to miss that one.

Never imagined or seen anything like that .... not even on TV .... quite spectacular.

I was heading south on hwy 21 towards sherwood park this morning and seen it light up the sky in front of me, lasted a good couple seconds.
It was quite spectacular to see.

I feel like I should apologize to everyone about my description.
When I said it was frigging spectacular, that's only because I couldn't use a different "F" word, and that's a word I save for special occasions like this...

The tail stayed in the sky for a long time, like it needed to prove that I wasn't dreaming.

It’s the second time for me. Saw something similar hunting about five years ago.

I was driving to rocky on highway 11 and the sky to the south of me lit up for a few seconds.

Until now i was thinking maybe i imagined it and it was some weird reflection on my windows from bright headlights.

Seems many caught it on their dashcams or home security.

From Youtube.
