Came across this rather dated documentary featured on the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) _htpp://www.nfb.ca/film/northern_lights
I know there are more current videos and articles, yet this one, from 1992, has a variety of inputs from the Inuit to Scandinavian countries and Siberia. It examines some of the folklore as passed on from one generation to another. It also features a number of Russian, Canadian, American and European physicists and other scientists who discuss the phenomenon's nature. The film also introduces some old books that studied weather and oddities concerning aurora's. Here are a couple of examples below:
- Discussed the Russian Scientist, Mikhail Lomonosov, 1711-1765 (_Best of Russia --- Famous Russians --- Scientists), who seems a very interesting man, and also the first (or so it says) to make the connection between aurora's and the sun/plasma.
- There were reports that the aurora can be 1000 km or come down to the earths surface, this is also covered in various parts by regional inhabitants who share their experiences and myths/stories.
- Discussion on Birkeland and his currents
- In the video there is discussion amongst the scientists that their instruments cannot hear the Northern Lights, yet people hear them and they cannot explain why the scientists can't - this made me think about the phenomenon of the "trumpets" discussed around the sounds that were being captured from above; more so a year or two ago, that Pierre also wrote about in his book Earth Changes and the Human-Cosmic Connection.
- Further along, it discusses the depleting of the Ozone layer related to aurora's (this was discussed in a recent session too). The theory goes that aurora's (incoming) electrons break up 0 and N creating nitric oxide causing Ozone disruption.
- In 1741 there is mention of a Norwegian sea captain who wrote a book about aurora and weather.
- Interestingly, aurora are used to predict when extra ambulances are needed (in Russia) possible because of the fluctuating magnetic field lines and heightened cardiac issues?
- Recounted the March 9th, 1989 Quebec (province wide) cascading power surge event that caused mass power outage - Faraday's law. From the north (like James Bay), the power grid runs a long way down to urban centers and the effects of the aurora enveloped the transmission lines.
- There is a wee message at the end concerning our hostile space and its effects on "electronics", yet perhaps on terra firma it has yet to make a really big mark? Perhaps there is a connection between the recent pull back of the magnetic shield over North America and some future event that may well paralyze parts of the world?

You can always do a search before you post something you haven't posted about before to see if there is already a topic on it.
that's why). When I arrived at the end station of Hagsätra, located in the southern suburbs, having a 15 minute break - opening the cabin door on the darker backside in order to smoke.... something 'smoky' caught my attention, quickly realizing, omg... NORTHERN LIGHTS !!!!
