9月12日,在北极圈以南的一个地方,冰岛现代北极巨石阵的石头指向天空,这是一个令人震惊的景象。在地磁风暴期间,一群勇敢的极光猎人娱乐着,当一颗令人惊叹的火球流星爆炸时,迷人的北极光在黑暗的天空中跳舞。这些带着相机的天文观测者震惊地拍下了这颗北极星的视频和静止图像,它的亮度最高时与满月一样。火球虽然很快就从视野中消失了,但却留下了一条挥之不去的可见痕迹或持续的轨迹。这条幽灵般的轨迹随着极光在60至90公里的高空大气中漂浮了几分钟。

On September 12, from a location just south of the Arctic Circle, stones of Iceland's modern Arctic Henge point skyward in this startling scene. Entertaining an intrepid group of aurora hunters during a geomagnetic storm, alluring northern lights dance across the darkened sky when a stunning fireball meteor explodes. Awestruck, the camera-equipped skygazers captured video and still images of the boreal bolide, at its peak about as bright as a full moon. Though quickly fading from view, the fireball left a lingering visible trail or persistent train. The wraith-like trail was seen for minutes wafting in the upper atmosphere at altitudes of 60 to 90 kilometers along with the auroral glow.
