[quote]QUOTE: zardoz <br />Posted: Today, 21:11:37 <br />There have been a surprisingly large number of people that live in the latitudes that get the auroras fairly frequently (Northern AND Southern Lights), that report actually hearing the auroral displays. Most scientists dismiss these reports, as there is no known mechanism that would cause the display to create any sound waves; however, as these stories of auroral sounds have existed amongst the area's natives for many generations, some scientists are at least willing to consider the possibility of some as of yet undiscovered process.[/quote] <br /> <br />Isn't that referred to as the "lights hissing or cracking" because of the way they sound? I also read that according to legend with the Inuits that if you whistle under the lights, you must throw frozen dog *** into the air or the lights will come down and slice your head off. Couldn't make that up...
