At 9pm a bright auroral arch W.N.W. to east 30° above northern horizon. At midnight two bright arches 
45° above southern horizon, extending from E.N.E. to west, turned into a flashing curtain with pink 
fringe, which rose and advanced to zenith. It then spread out in an elongated corona, (elongation E.N.E. 
and west) resembling a flattened open umbrella of many hundred ribs, all in a state of great agitation. 
Flashes of pink and green light jumped up and down the so-called ribs, while a mass within and close to 
the vortex was violently agitated, the flashes of light whirling around its circumference, sometimes right-
handed, sometimes left-handed.
