I've taken pictures of them with a cell phone. I don't get them all the time here in Trondheim, Norway, but a few times a year. The cell phone degraded the site, in no small part because it intensified the city lights.

Yes, I'm in the city.

I've seen one snake brightly and I've seen some just shimmer in the night. I've seen purple and white and green. I've also seen some that were more impresive than others.

But none of this matters because you won't believe personal testimony, and at this time in your life, you haven't spent a decent amount of time in a northerly location during autumn. Rent a cabin up north for the month of October and possibly the beginning of December. And I'll add, just because you don't understand how such a thing happens doesn't mean you are being lied to about this stuff. It only means that you haven't seen it, are untrusting, and that you don't understand it.
