[Utah-astronomy] What was I seeing?

At about 2:45 AM this morning I observed a bright pink sky glow in the west/southwest. I first noticed it at 2:15 AM and it lasted until about 2:35 and then slowly faded out. It was quite bright and fairly constant in color. I went outside in my sweats and nearly froze before I had the good sense to go back inside and view from the window. :-( Can anyone tell me what I was seeing? _\\|//_ (-O-O-) -----o00--(_)--00o----- Larry & Kaye Frisk lkfrisk@earthlink.net
