If it wasn't the Aurora Borealis than you could have been seeing red sprites, blue jets or elves. No, really.

The Aurora can be seen sometimes even all the way down to Mexico depending on atmospheric conditions.

"Perhaps it is just a coincidence but I have noticed that if there is a good geomagnetic storm brewing, the lenticular clouds over mountains take on some really unusual shapes and the sunsets and sunrises are supercharged with brilliant pinks and purples." - http://www.spacew.com/gallery/image00065...
