OMG Claire, such a lucky lady to capture this, in all its glory, truly a lifetime experience not to be forgotten, thank you for sharing this phenomenon with us. 😊

Your face looked like I imagine our ancestors looked when something strange and mysterious happened in the sky. What an awesome experience to have had.

Honestly, Claire, I can't think of a finer person to receive the " gift" of being out on that hill to see the aurora. As a nature lover and a fine cinematographer, you were able to do justice to the filming of it all. I await the full trip video with interest.

Oh!!! You didn't know about the solar storm!!! I'm so happy you got to see them! It's so magical isn't it! I'm 74... I've only ever seen them once in my life. I missed this one because I had clouds but really, bloody happy that you, young one, now have a beautiful memory like I have carried.

The Universe is rewarding you Claire for being a great ambassador 🌞

Clair, it was the universe that was in perfect sync, because your trip took place during the exact period of one of the strongest solar eruptions ever recorded. A record amount of solar mass was expelled and was directed exactly toward our planet Earth. Our planet resisted and you witnessed a so unique event in the history of Earth. I thank you immensely and my eyes filled with water looking at your photos and video. I live in a city located on the Tropic of Capricorn and we were not lucky enough to witness this event. From this Brazilian follower, I wish that God continues to bless you and take care that you always return safely to your family. Stay safe, happy, and enlightened with the blessings of the universe and God. Thank you very, very much for sharing this special moment.

What an eloquent and poetic reflection on the event Claire! You achieved something special - you did it justice. Thank you for being there, for being the right person to be there. Wonderful footage.

Hi Claire, I just wanted to say thank you for your fantastic videos, you do not know me but I am ex-army and did a lot of things in my time in the forces especially along the lines of outdoor pursuits and so on. I love nature and being out in extremes and had the fortunate opportunity to travel the world putting skills into practice in different environments. But shortly after leaving the forces I became unwell both physically and mentally. I also suffered a stroke around 4 years ago which has left me damaged and with limited capabilities which include walking. I am now classed as disabled and for a long time I beat myself up as when I attempted to do things, I compared myself how I used to be and gave up doing stuff. Leading to more depression and low self-esteem. However, things have now changed now for me and I see the positive in things (as you say it’s only a plan that changes and that isn’t a fail and positivity can be found by just being out there) I am now reliving my passion by adapting, and that is with thanks to yourself and others. I hope you do not mind but I created my own channel and did a video of which I have used a few clips of you from your videos to promote you and for others to see where I got my inspiration from and my channel is based on being outdoors, camping and so on while living with limitations, so I hope you do not mind me doing this and should it be a problem please let me know and of course I will respect your wishes. My channel if you wish to watch the video is at kzread.info/dron/nvGYskLr2oOWBA06ggbKlQ.html and so far, the only video on my channel but I have plans to make a lot more. As you see I am an amateur when it comes to producing videos LOL but I will learn over time. Thank you for inspiring me through your channel and please keep up the fantastic work.

In all of my 69 years, I have never seen such amazing photography work of the Northern Light! You did an amazing job of it! I'm glad you got to experience it. Thank you for sharing it with us!

makes us feel so small, doesn't it. so glad you experienced that.

Thanks so much for posting such beautiful images, truly stunning. Thanks.

Weird thing to say, but think the fact you have such a beautiful appreciation of nature, means you were somehow meant to see this 😊

‘To feel, to care, sometimes too much’ - this was the sense I got watching the lights on a beach not far from where you were. It was completely overwhelming and in a weird way seemed to amplify my feelings about some of the awful things happening in the world. It was however unbelievably beautiful and an emotional experience to see something so rare and incredible on my doorstep. I can’t imagine how intense that was for you alone and unaware of what was happening.

I lived vicariously through you seeing your genuine astonishment unaware of the reason for the spectacular light display. I knew the lights would be coming shortly before they arrived and really tried to see them but the lights of the city were too strong. I keep coming back to re-watch this video and keep getting this goose flesh (goosebumps). It's so exhilarating. I'm so glad you got to experience it without foreknowledge of it. And the fact you recorded it too. Talk about a once in several lifetimes chance. Thank you for letting us experience it through your eyes.😊

The recent (and significant) solar storm made the northern lights and the southern hemisphere equivalents something extraordinary this time round. They were visible from most parts of the world. Many of us might not see the likes of these again. May I come and sit with you, on your hill, next time round? 😇 😃 Here in the southern hemisphere (Australia) we had our own version - they call it Aurora Australis - it was equally magnificent and I had the pleasure of observing from a remote and isolated place on top of a hill too. Just magnificent.

The USA is in general much better to watch them then Europe. The geomagentical pole is not situated at the north pole. If you live north of 40 degrees in the USA you are in a better position than we in Europe at 50 degrees. People in states like Minnesota, Montana and North Dakota see these displays I think at least once or twice per year.

Experienced the Northern Lights in the Scottish highlands Friday night also. I’d never seen anything like it before either, the whole sky was illuminated with blends of reds, purples, greens and moved so quickly like a cosmic waterfall. Just stood for ages staring up at the night sky, and watching the changing shapes. It was so bright, even the ground was reflecting all the colours. Your video really does do it justice, and i’m glad you posted it for a permanent memory of nature’s beauty. Thank you for sharing.

@@nsean479 Melbourne might not seem like a good place to watch them, but in reality it is not far worse than central Wales. The geomagentic poles are not situated on the geographical one. This means that New Zealnd en the USA are in a much better position to see them than people in Wales are. And Melbourne enjoys this advantage too to a lesser extend.

Magic is happening all over our skies at the moment. We had Australia / Southern Borealis active in Tasmania and MELBOURNE Australia 🇦🇺 last week. It was SO RARE, a once in a lifetime for a city. Everyone went to the beaches to see it if they could as it was not hindered by city light. It was brilliant Pinks, Greens, ribbon formations, and then the lights dancing across the sky. Lasted quite a while too. So humbling. Plenty of pictures if anyone wants to check it out. ❤❤❤

That was my experience of seeing the northern lights here in the Scottish Borders last year too. I'd heard and seen footage that the sky turns green and purple etc but all we saw with the naked eye was gradually moving vertical curtains of what looked like misty cloud. People put wonderful colourful pictures on the local facebook page of that night and I read that not everyone sees the colours without looking through a much more sensitive camera lens that brings out the colours. I didn't bother looking out on Saturday night but a lad told us on Sunday morning that he saw faint colours in the sky from his remote hillside home.

Well whatever it is, you got to experience it firsthand!!! And thanks to your video I also get to experience it!!!!

You seemed unsure of what you found. Of what might happen. Thanks for sharing what you found.

This same event happened to me in 2013 while I was solo camping in South Central Utah. I crawled into my little tent about 10pm, opened my eyes a few moments later and the sky exploded with color that lasted 3 hours. I sat there awestruck and also wanted someone to share it with, but i too was out of cellphone range. Most incredible experience of my night as well.

Congratulations on being out in the wild and getting to see one of natures most beautiful displays…. So happy you weren’t huddled up under a tarp in the pouring rain and missing out on this….lol 👍🏻💙🍻😎

That was totally an amazing sight. Thank you for being there to share with us the wonderful display of lights in the sky. Never seen anything quite like it, ever.

Great to see your reaction Claire 😮😵‍💫😊. Imagine the effect that this type of thing would have had on Neolithic and earlier cultures who didn’t have the benefit of science to explain this phenomenon. So glad you got to see it 💖💙💚

Just my luck. I was in Scotland, camping, knew about these but... I was knackered from going up a mountain so fell asleep while waiting in my tent. Also it was cloudy so not sure how well they would have been visible anyway. Ah well maybe next time. Great video as always.

I'm 60 and was whooping about like a big kid in my garden in Dorset. Can't , believe all of the UK was treated to such an amazing spectacle.

Beautiful violet flowers 💐 reminds me of picking flowers for my mother who passed away many years now .

I believe it met for you a give from the universe 🌌 😢❤I got emotional when I saw it in this video

Wish you could have just enjoyed it without all the worry. Northern lights are beautiful. They don't always look like that, but they are always just as beautiful!

You're so lucky, I missed them. Right time and a perfect place to see them, also some of the best video I've seen. Thank you for sharing your video 🙂

Just another beautiful thing the universe gives us.

"Let me get dressed".......then appears in even less clothing than she had on! Excellent stuff from our best and favourite camping Beare. Never change, Clare, you are so entertaining. Good🍀Luck and keep safe. 💝

So cool that you captured it! It's always a gift when the Aurora Borealis appear, I also captured this event where I live but it always appears to be the green hue, I guess it's geological location. I have never seen pink and purple WOW! beautiful!

Many of us were forewarned and prepared, but still amazed and mesmerized. We had stupendous views in mid Ontario. That this was a surprise for you adds a whole new element. Thanks for sharing!

Best coverage of an aurora event ever! Commentary and images gel into an amazing video that is a privilege to watch! Thank you for sharing Claire! Brilliant work!

Here I am still kicking myself that I missed the report on the CME and thus didn't bother to go out and try to see however much we got, and turns out there are people who just happened to be in the perfect viewing spot for the greatest show in more than a century! Time to kick myself even HARDER and hope when that sunspot cluster makes it back around it gives me another chance.

So intense 😮 beautiful, wonderful to share this with you 🙂 not sure how I would have felt witnessing this as you did. 🙌

I have tried on many occasion to try and photograph the Northern lights from home in Derbyshire, I have once caught them on photo in Scotland without realising until I viewed the photos afterward. I am in a few Facebook aurora groups and have an app (Glendale Skye Aurora) although I appreciate that's not any use if you've no signal! With reports coming in of sightings quite far down country, I left my husband watching the kids and drove half a mile to park at the side of the road in the middle of Fields. I was very nervous as I was on my own, and watching the aurora and seeing the pinks and blues with my naked eye made me feel very emotional. I ended up ringing my husband to feel a little less lonely, and was just in awe and I wanted to share it with someone just like you, I was just banging on about him getting his head outside!

The SOLAR STORM was absolutely incredible over the Calgary skyline.

Wow, I’ve got to say Claire that was one incredible video. I live in the astrophotography / aurora-chasing community and vlog about this sort of stuff all the time (and last Friday was truly sensational). But to see the authentic reaction of someone, out in the wild, witnessing what was unfolding without an internet connection to check it all out, was truly remarkable. So glad you got to see it, in such a special place, and thanks for sharing. Definitely one of the best aurora videos of the dozens that I’ve watched!! Have a great day. Paul.

Your closing touched me deeply including spine tingling... Thank You
