So I'm supposed to believe the Aurora Borealis 'struck terror into the hearts of many?' That's the dumbest thing I ever heard - I suppose if they were genuinely terrorized by the Aurora Borealis, they would most likely be similarly terrified by wonders like as a card trick, the mentalist feats of The Amazing Kreskin, and the occasional MLB triple play.
I don't doubt the sincerity of the children nor the accounts of the supernatural incidents at the time of the sightings (nor the prophecies), but it's those kind of silly things peppered in historical accounts that compromise the whole thing - when too many things like that enter the narrative, I don't know what to believe and what not to believe.
Actually, my mother was about 13 years old when she saw it and still remembers it.
Her mother woke her and her brothers and sisters up to see it. All the neighbors were out in awe and fright because it was very red and apparently very frightening. No one had ever rememered seeing anything like it.
This was in Czechoslovakia as itr was known then.
Hi HitmanNy,You better behave yourself:)Struck terror is not true-aurora Borealis true.Kinda like the little streak we all saw from NY to Pa and began in Washington before 9-11.
