Day 355

I am a couple days behind number wise, but the Daily Daughter #1 called on her way home tonight after Christmas Eve dinner and said there were lights over Malmstrom AFB.  She wasn’t sure what they were.

(2s f/2.8 ISO800 6mm (35mm eq:28mm) P7100)

The lights seemed in sync with a strobe flashing up into an ice fog cloud over the Base…

(1.6s f/4.0 ISO400 16.3mm (35mm eq:76mm) -3 stops P7100)

That pretty much eliminated the Northern Lights as a cause.

I think they were just reflections of the strobe in the cloud.  This is an unedited photo, just resized.

(2s f/4.5 ISO640 25.4mm (35mm eq:119mm) -3 stops P7100)

Sorry for the low quality photos.  It was -6F and I didn’t want to get out of the car to use a tripod!  All were hand braced on the window’s edge.
