                 --------------------------------------------

1655 UTC - (S40.30 E175.40) - Glen Oroua, New Zealand.
           Comments: Despite a near Full Moon setting in the west a
strong
           red glow was first seen around the Southern Cross at due
south.
           Then ray bundles started forming under The Pointers, and Eta
           Carinae, two seperate bundles going off at the same time up
to 1
           degrees high.

2145 UTC - (N??.?? W???.??) - Glossop, Derbyshire.U.K
           Comments: will have a better idea when it gets dark!

2200 UTC - (N47.15 W001.09) - St fiacre sur maine near Nantes (West
France)
           Comments: Beautiful red light at the moment between NW and N,
           polaris inside.

2200 UTC - (N48.70 E005.58) - L´Escarene, France
           Comments: Report from L´EscarĀŠne, France (15 miles from Nice)
Lat.
           43 50 07 North, Long. 07 21 26 East At 22h20 UT we observed
an
           auroral display which lasted 20 mn, 2 separate zones were
visible,
           the first to appear was west of Cassopeia, under Ursa Minor,
pink
           columns were clearly visible, spanning 20 degrees on the
horizon,
           and 15-20 degrees high, the second zone engulfed Ursa Major
and
           was a pink featureless zone spanning 20 degrees and 30-40
degrees
           high. The columns lasted a good 10 minutes and the pink
           featureless zone twice that much. The show was superb despite
the
           near full moon, it was awesome! our first aurora!

           We tried a few pictures, we´ll see what comes out within the
next
           couple of days. Michel Benvenuto and Claude Minghelli

2212 UTC - (N51.27 E007.05) - Dusseldorf, Germany
           Comments: between clouds.

2215 UTC - (N46.00 W071.00) - Copenhagen, Denmark

2218 UTC - (N49.95 E011.74) - 10 km east of Bayreuth, Germany
           Comments: It began as faint rays pointing towards zenith from
           azimuth approx. 30 and 330, slowly growing to dark red beams
           covering Ursa Major and Camelopardalis and fading away as
           cloud-like red patches. Near the horizon and up to approx 20o
           altitude rather bright sky, the colour of which I could not
           determine (not green, however).

2220 UTC - (N51.00 W000.00) London, UK
           Comments:  Diffuse white-blue glow in northern sky, discrete
pale
           blue-white beams radiating from about 20-30 deg above ENE
horizon
           to zenith. More beams appeared above north horizon and
stretched
           to the zenith. Eastern beams changed colour to violet.
Structure
           disappeared after 5-10 mins, replaced by faint diffuse glow.

           Severe interference from twilight, light pollution and
nearly-full
           Moon. Was impressed to see anything at all given the
conditions!

2230 UTC - (N51.20 E001.30) - Aylesham, Kent
           Comments: Certainly as active this evening, but skies not as
           favourable, as the April event.  Hard to find clear skies
tonight
           in SE Kent, but found a reasonably clear northerly view for a
           short while near Aylesham.  Northern skies very bright with
           diffuse white glow; white, pink and redish quite mobile rays
in
           the NE, followed 10 minutes later by similar to the NW (just
           outside Ursa Major).

2230 UTC - (N50.00 W00.00) - Bexhill Sussex England
