How about pyroluminescent clouds? Very eerie. While watching the lightning to
the north tonight, I saw the pyrocumulus clouds to the NE lit up from
underneath by the Cave Creek fire, a reddish aurora-like glow.

For the record, here are the objects on my list that I haven't seen myself:
10) Transit of Venus - June 5, 2012 is already on my calendar.
32) Noctilucent Clouds - I must take a trip up north to see this ... and some
real aurora.
88) Magellanic Clouds - not taking credit for this because I only saw one, and
I think that was through a telescope.
93) Asteroids - maybe I've seen one, but through a telescope. Didn't know
Vesta is visible naked eye -- will have to look for it.
Sorry, Tom, I'm not giving you credit for the spectre. I think it's got to be
the shadow of your human form. This gives you an excuse to climb a mountain,
turn around, and look for the mirror in the sky (as Stevie Nicks so eloquently
put it).
