[xB4LL50F5T33Lx]

"HEY,HE DIDNT SAY NORWAY/SWEDEN/FINLAND!WHAT THE FUCK,MAN!"

No shit.He only said Russia,Alaska and Canada!

[kreep182]

If you liked it thumbs up !

[xYoUnGSoLDieR]

i live in Britain im only 14 i have seen them 4 times :) 

[akmodan]

@xYoUnGSoLDieR where do you live? I live in london, i think i cannot see from here :(

[Born2Bjojo]

@xYoUnGSoLDieR cool i live in kuwait (thats in the middle east) and im 13 i never seen them

and i knowill never c them

[ChrissyMontagne]

Kill all the fucking wasteful and useless streetlights! Do your part to clean up light pollution!!!

In Hawaii, we use sledge hammers to pop out the bulbs!!!!

[ChrissyMontagne]

Talk talk and everything he said about what the lights are was 100% BULLSHIT!!!

Read a current book, fuck wit, it's the geomagnetic field!!!!

[ChrissyMontagne]

Show VIDEO, not crappy slideshows!! FAIL!

[SupernaturallyFreak]

I ain't dying before I see the Northern Lights in real life !

[FLSHBK1]

I haven't seen the Aurora since I was a kid in the '50s. They were quite frequent then, as I recall. Camped out in the Adirondacks one fall, we were up all night for an amazing, dazzling 5hr display.

I always felt there should be sound with them. Prokofiev's Dance of the Knights would be good........

[ranaarmen62]

nun bin so einsam und gelangweilt möchte sanft gekrault werden hab auch bilder

[jetpoweredgriffin]

What about the Aurora Australis in the Southern Hemisphere?

[Aurora21180]

Aurora is my middle name. it also a roman goddess(the goddess of dawn). is that so cool. :)

[jodesonata]

All the northern countries, which are in touch with arctic circle (that means you're close enough to the north pole), have them... finland, iceland, sweden, norway...

in finland we have aurora borealis most at winters, and most in Lapland. Lapland is northern Finland (covers about 25% of the whole area)..

(my english may suck, I know.)

[gumdokim]

I believe aurora borealis' are indicators of a solar flare hitting earth during the solar maximum. Btw this guy looks a lot like Ben Affleck haha

[MrOmniblast]

@gumdokim

....No.

[gumdokim]

@MrOmniblast lol

[gumdokim]

@gumdokim what I meant was, aurora borealis' appearing in places they normally don't appear is a sign that a solar flare has hit!

[gumdokim]

The guys reflection at the end, looks like its sorta moving on its own...Even looks like it's wearing a hat!

[nsgutube]

Ahhh the wonderful technology of HAARP...the things they can create! I admit, it is beautiful. But HAARP officials even admitted to creating 'paintings in the sky' with this technology. Either way, it's very cool!

[latinagriega]

Also u can see in Sweden :P

[mekl5]

Ahhhh I love the Northern Lights. I can see them and I live in Minnesota. I love Minnesota. Its so gorgeous, I epically love the winters here. [:

[scar12x9]

And To Alaska We GOOOO!!!!!!!

[eliaEmo]

i wanna see dat!!!!!!!!!!!

[SAGEthewisedragon]

Every two hundred years? I'll be dead by then ;~; 

[Juliatendre]

I observed this natural phenomenon on Kola peninsula, very beautifully, magnificent modulations and all it is accompanied by a sound (such soft crackling of electric categories) it there was a long polar night. It was possible to see on a working trip it it is beautiful, very much! :)

[zneebify]

to the people complaining that he didn't mention norway, the first place he mentioned was "the northern parts of most of the nordic countries", as in norway, sweden, ect.

[zneebify]

northern countries have warm summers too you know

[SoldierCyfix]

so I gotta exchange good hot climate for this nice sky view.... ill stick to the hotter weather i love CA and NV summers 100F FTW

[ahmedelmoon]

wheres macaroni ?

[dSondre]

So glad I live in Norway.

I see this about 50 - 100 times a year.

[NVanWendy]

One night I saw green auroras from North Vancouver of a kind I've never seen on tape nor even heard of. They looked exactly like the damp ripples formed by waves that you see on a flat, sandy beach, but sped from north to south at an astonishing rate. It was absolutely dumbfounding. Has anyone else seen auroras like this?

[NyulaRaeGlamour]

and my mom told me they were the northern lights, i was like whaaa! lol but it was soo awsome, i was lucky if i didn't look out the window, i would've missed them, it's like being underwater when they pass by, so beautiful

[NyulaRaeGlamour]

i remember my 1st time seeing these lights it was in the summer, it was around 4-3 A.M. and just happened to look out the window just to stare at the night sky and i see these light green ripples across the sky, i was like wth is going on with the sky and i woke up my mom and i was like mom there's something going on with the sky, cuz i never experience the lights B4 i didn't know we get them in Michigan, i only seen them in Balto so i thought you could only see them in Alaska.

[jerimiah169]

GOD DAMNIT!!!I MISSED IT!!!better build a freakin time machine...

[995sunglasses]

yeah when it's over we won't be seeing them will be frying on the grill..

[jgsouter]

Caused by moose flatulance buildup in th ionosphere. Often results in electric lightning.

[ImhotepHoll]

OH GOD! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!

[oakraid83]

goddammit isn't there an actual video of this??? Not pieced together pictures.

[steflondon88]

@oakraid83 yeah, just search harder

[TheiRenaissance]

northern lights are magnetic field effects resulting from distortions and rearrangements of the field and the resulting particle 'intrusion' from outside the atmosphere within it, basically. it can be seen any place that the magnetic field is sufficiently permeable or malleable. if a particularly large solar storm were to happen it is entirely possible that the whole planet would glow. and possibly not be particularly healthy to watch. on average tho, certainly werth a watch, and an ahhh :)

[NyulaRaeGlamour]

@TheiRenaissance lol i know, i remember my 1st experience seeing them it was awsome

[seriouslyWeird]

wtf these are just pictures. i don't watch videos of northen lights to see a few photos and some asshole talking about them

[EndLess793]

nature always beautiful 

[CantStopWontStop818]

@AntiVaccine What? Marijuana is a herb, don't get it confused.

[CantStopWontStop818]

nothing beats SMOKING northern lights while watchihng them at the same time... good ol'e times!

[randommagnum]

Why didn't you say anything about the earth's magnetic field? That's a pretty major piece of the puzzle.

[MegaDIF]

He didn't say that the best places to see northern lights is in Norway and Sweden where it is a much bigger chans to see them then in Russia and Canada

[courtneyauls]

''Auroras are a beautiful scenery.

[THEANOTIDRA]

Bring Them Back - English Version ( write it on youtube search bar)

[schitzosial]

HEY! he forgot to mention sweden .. only "and all the other northern countries" :,( here, I see it almost every year..

[kelly901488]

@schitzosial you lucky bastard

[andreshadee]

i got5 some of these northern lights on my camcorder from alberta last night, they were pink and green. I need to convert the video from whatever it is now to a different kind of video so it is uploadable to youtube. can anyone give me some advice on how to do that please, thank you.

[vladx22]

the guy has an incredibly annoying voice

[Balldress1]

Could you please tell me what is the best time to visit Alaska and what place? It's a dream of my life to see it.

Thank you.

[razemoshe]

Fairbanks for its clear winter nights.

[Aaron2071]

You don't have to just go to Alaska, Canada gets them quite often. My parents used to live in the prairie regions of Canada, and would occasionally watch them out the window. Even parts of northern United States (such as Michigan) see an occasional glimmer. :D

[pspboy7]

Yeah, Canada has the best lights, IMO

[flierumph]

He's hot!

[DreamsofMajesty]

scribd (dot) com/nb812

[mytruenameisdylan]

northern parts of the most northern countries

[haarstad88]

its nothing like sitting outside relaxing with a few beer's on a cold vinternight watching the northen light's dance above your head;D i love living in Norway:D

[xvaughanx]

kinda makes up for the snow?

[kristicuk]

ahhhh, you're so damn lucky! I'm gonna go there someday as well...can't wait

[makpak]

When in the best time to see this stuff and where in norway?

[auroriam]

@makpak

In the northern part of Norway is the best place, it isn't northern light in the south often. The best time is probably winter, spring or autumn, because it's midnight sun here in the summer.

[PesiCool]

@haarstad88 Same here in Iceland ;)

[itsthizzbaby]

@haarstad88 I'm jealous =).

[empemitheos]

@haarstad88 yez, vinternite, mr. pinderschlosh

[haarstad88]

@empemitheos uh? cant quite understand but thanks anyway:D

[liamzuid]

@haarstad88 How long do the northern lights stay?

I wanna take some pics of it.

[haarstad88]

@liamzuid usually from oktober to march where i live :)

[NowogodishnjaJelka]

@haarstad88 lucky you :)

[vgmaster9]

@haarstad88

As well as getting an ipod and listening to some Steve Roach.

[haarstad88]

@vgmaster9 well i rather go with Led Zeppelin or Ac-Dc :)

[XABOOxMICHH]

@haarstad88 im so jealous.

[lovemayforever]

at the last of this video, why the man just said we have to wait for 200 years to see aurora?

I just miss the last sentence@@

thx!!

[o0o0o0oo0oo0o0o0o]

@lovemayforever because he said thats at the equator where it will be another 200 years until it can be seen there, i didn't know that myself til now

[lovemayforever]

wow~cool!

Thanks a lot~

[emman4444]

lol its not like if you only are limited to se the video one time.. go back and listen to what he said

[iamcalledfrankie]

at the equator. if you go north or south it gets more and more frequent as you reach the poles

[Calsummersishere]

I saw the northern lights in Alaska and obviously you can also see them in Canada. What a sight! Breathtaking and you feel a sense of awe! I think everyone should see them and also see the stars at night! Too many areas of the world, the beauty of the night sky can not be seen because of pollution and manmade lights, etc!

[Slovenc1998]

@Calsummersishere i think that everyone shall move there then and create citys and other stuff... and the lights.... and northern lights wont be seen anymore

[Mascherina1964]

@Calsummersishere I've been told all radio communications shut down. Is this true?

[vinnypoet]

@Calsummersishere I envy you

I wanna see them too!!!

[ATLFalcons1208]

i went to russia for vacation and i saw the northern lights... nothing is more beautiful than seeing them in person. it is just incredible.

[sritger]

Saw the northern lights when I was in Fairbanks, Alaska years ago...I was surprised by how bright they get...breathtaking!

[Basones]

I saw them from western Ohio on the late 80's.

[kimmy102611]

i wanna see an aurora borealis :((

[DrownedWorld2008]

Up here we mostly take it for granted. I mean, its beautifull, but when you have seen it hundreds of times before you even knew what it was it kinda loses its magic. I would think the "midnight sun" and "times of twilight" would be a more moving/fascinating experiense for most people (tho not as visually stunning ofc)

[LeTinctoire]

0:22: "... it creates light particles."

I nearly laughed, but I mostly died a little inside.

[sritger]

@LeTinctoire

Yup...light particles...they're called photons. Look it up.

[LeTinctoire]

Then you should also know that about wave-particle duality. Sure, they're all called particles, but they're also behaving very much like waves.

(Of course all elementary particles behave like particles, I know that ;) it's just that I think their other side always seems a bit overshadowed by that name...)

[pasionxrock]

I was getting my hopes up till he said 200 years... :/

[achhockey100]

wahh

[J0viiS]

@pasionxrock - aww me too.

I really wanted to see this aurora borealis, how unfortunate that the country i live in is in the 0-30 degrees north. *sigh*

[1UTUV3]

Thats not true, every year, on January and February it happens

[SoldatenArvidsjaur23]

We also saw a lot of satelites.

It's easy to see satelites around the arctic circle.

[SoldatenArvidsjaur23]

In the beginning of my army training I used to take a minute or two to observe the northern lights before going to the tent. In january-february 2008 you could see it almost every night.

[acs197]

Can't wait for the next solar maximum! That will give the best possibility for people south of the arctic circle to see these dancing lights. I've only seen a good display once here in western New York State (43 degrees North Lat). Probably would have seen more if cloud cover wasn't so common here.

[arzie126]

....are you sure???...well,i guess so....i never seen it in my whole life!!!!!

[RealFutureStar33]

ok that guy was wrong they come every year

[billyboyd94]

We saw them in Southern Utah one night a few winters ago, it was the most amazing sight I've ever seen.

[joyceraincloudfire]

Hey guys.. if u guys really wanna c Northern lights go to the Nord of Norway inside Arctic circle. Between Nov- feb is the best time to see northern lights..

[Jawwwda]

ubohý

[philipimpelido5]

how can i see those?

[Gtrleo]

Didnt you listen to the video?

[prophetOfAnime]

i live around the thumb of Michigan and ive seen them form my backyard

[bUskinBE]

You dont know how lucky you are. I'm in Ireland.. no beutiful wonders here :-/

[red33410]

You mean, "occurs ONCE every 200 years."

[p1gfukker]

you know what sounds perfect? two hits of acid, the northern lights, a nice bundled jacket, and some hot chocalate. that would be an amazing night.

[philipimpelido5]

what is the effect ? is that dangerous?

reply me

[colton3564]

no they arent dangerous it is caused by solar flares hitting the earth witch is then channeled to the poles creating the aurora borialis aka the northern lights

[giantcowthig]

if i went into northern montana. would i see them often or would i have to go farther north into canada?

[docBrabbit]

Easily be able to see it .........its an amazing sight to see

[SniperViper1000]

Montana is fine but if you want real northern lights move to the Yukon during the winter. Simply geogrous!

[SawTheScorpio]

I went to canada last year, and i was outside in the snow when i saw these. Beautiful moment.

[leogordon]

alaskas a country?

[MrAngelheart79]

yeah did you not here, they are free from bankers rule, long live alaska is the new talk on the street

[SNAZZYGOLDFISHES]

NO YOU DUMBASS ITS A STATE IN THE USA

[Crazyfortribe]

Saw it once in 2000. Pretty cool. Unfortunatley I live to far south to see it every winter.

[mohitgoku]

does it has any varieties?

[Vertias718]

Hey does anyone know how fast are auroras in person? I feel that most videos on auroras, speed up the frame rate. But anyway I hope to see one in person soon

[bates507]

they havent sped it up & yes it is the most amassing thing you can see

[Mostnorthern]

Sometimes they do move fast. That is when we say they are dancing, here in Alaska

[freacls]

wow id love to see it my friend and her brother seen it in Aberdeen Scotland its so beautiful

[ViaCydonia]

i saw it once

[seaquat]

our country Bangladesh is in 90 degree. can it possible to see? or within 100 years?

[Deathwishx100]

well who want to see them have to wait 200 years good luck with that !!!!!!

[hornvin]

why 200 years, they will be in the exact same place then.

[fifacod]

last year, i saw the northern lights, here in new york

[SummerTreats99]

Once i saw them in winnipeg?

[Piggieelaydee]

i would love to see these...

are they uncommon?

[ManBearPig84]

I have seen them here in michigan before.

[jiawern]

you're really lucky

[xXBloodyXxGirlXx]

i wish i could see them =\

[KunoichixSasuke1349]

Every 200 years? When was the last time they were shown?

[drq40]

200 years is just a number. The northern lights don't follow a calendar. You would need a very powerfull (and damaging) geomagnetic storm to see it close to equator. However, the easy solution is just to visit a place far north from october to march, and you can almost see it every night if the sky is clear. I actually saw it a couple nights ago :)

[hammy012]

I NEED MORE MONEY!! Just to see those!

[randomlaughingman]

The northen and southern auroras used to be visible all over the planet, before artificial light and EM grids for electricity, and pollution of all kinds fucked it all up.

The planet is dying, it's aura only extends from inside to a little bit in the artic / antartic circles.

[TonsofFun777]

Whoa, now you are a woman?

And what video did I attack another person on.

[randomlaughingman]

See my response to your exact same reply on the video where it was in fact relevant. It's becoming increasingly evident that you really are also that loon that copied my username, and you'd subbed to your own fake channel.

[terratec365]

the presenter was hot.

[iamcharlie21]

wow! every 200 years? haha.

[56RAFcoventry]

Why are you all arguing about what place in the world is best to see the northern lights? lol

[Spiritgirldance]

I meant to type: Another Good place: Fort Yukon, Alaska...

[Spiritgirldance]

another food place: Ft Yukon, AK

[VancouverCanucker]

The best place to see them is Yukon, Canada.

[Mostnorthern]

No the best place to see them is Fairbanks Alaska

[VancouverCanucker]

Nope, Yukon is better

[PickJesusox]

ive seen them in greenland-theyre beautiful x

[7855waldo]

What's the rush at the start?

Is he afraid someone's going to interrupt him?

Speak carefully. Be audible.

[StalePhish]

i think he sounds pretty normal the whole time

[7855waldo]

Unfortunately, to most of us, he does.

[lunigal]

The technical explanation is .... well scientific, but I still whistle at the lights just as I have done for years and they still dance for me. I believe in being whisked away when ever I have the opportunity.. Love it Luna

[Videoman213]

I see this crap every night in the winter it gets annoying! jk. =)

[SoyLaJefa]

wow you're tired of it, and i vowed to see the aurora borealis before i die. it's the one thing i have to do before i die! where do you live? maybe i can move there!!
