Last night at approx 2 am what appezred to be an aura in space transversed the entire sky across the Gulf of Thailand, for about half an hour. It was one day after full moon however this band was very visable. It appeared to arcacross the earth. It was a crysta clear night with a sky full of stars. It was quite a visual phenominan.
Unfortantely in all the excitement I was unable to take any photos,. By the time I got home to get a decent camera it had dissappeared.
Now I have awoken today and I am searching the web for refrences to the event. It was a serious anomaly. As an avid sky watcher I have never seen anything like it. The moon was at it's apex and the band of what appeared to be a phenominan in space, not within our athmosphere, was very clear, passing a few degrees off the moon. It vanished in both horizon points, although this appeared to be only because of out field of vision. It was arced with the curvature of the earth, although also seemed to be bent slightly.
I have no explaination, and hpe to find one here.
This was a remarkable event to say the least and was visable and clear for almost half an hour.
Any ideas.

Sounds like aurora borealis - but all the way down in Thailand?!? Did the bands of light move around the sky and change shape? That's really weird.

Sorry mods can you move this to the appropriate place, I don't know why it has landed in cryptoland.
It was like an aura, although it did not move or look like the borealis. It looked like the dark rift, although way to visable and it transversed the entire sky 180 degrees. One odd thing was it appeared to follow the curve of space, although at a different circumference to the earth, and it had a slight kink in it.
It was very clear, like a trail of phospherent light.
Again I watch all the space weather sites and I have not seen anything like it. I am really hoping a photo will appear.
I did have a phone camera with me althouh in the excitement I didn't think it would make any kind of legible photo.

What direction did it come from, NE - SW etc etc? Was it moving as such accross the sky or did it appear then fade. Just curious - I'll take a look tonight, I'm in Phuket btw, quite a ways west of the Gulf of Thailand but you never know right? I'll have a camera ready.

It was a huge event, I'm sure it was visable from everywhere. Photos from the beach resort areas like Haadrin will appear, just have to find them.
It ran north south approx.

Quite a few of us living in Thailand eh?

Sadly I was in Central Shopping Mall yesterday at sundown and when I came out it was dark already.

As for an ATS in Thailand, have you tried thai-visa.com?

Ok, one friend with knowledge on space things has suggested "gravitational lensing".
Does this mean anything to anyone?

There has been several posts on ATS and the internet over the last few days regarding Thailand sky anomalies in the past few days. Keep us posted if you find any pictures.
