I was in Jackson, WY back in June. My friends and I spent a few nights up on Shadow Mountain. We were fortunate enough to catch the aurora borealis on one of those nights. The camera saw more color than I did. The pillars were more golden than magenta. However, what you see is not a white balance anomaly. I've tried "correcting" the color numerous times and what you see was what the camera saw. I had two cameras going, one time lapse, one still. I interrupted the time lapse camera a few times to check the images so there were gaps. The ISS passes through the scene during the initial the initial start of the movie. Then, in the first few seconds, you'll see what appears to be a bolide changing direction 180 degrees in the upper right corner. It's actually an Iridium flare that happened to be caught between two frames of the time lapse.
