UFO's Aurora Borealis Northern Lights Alaska Robert Vegas Bob Swetz   UFO's Aurora Borealis Northern Lights Alaska Robert Vegas Bob Swetz   Here are some photos that Robert Swetz captured early this morning at 1:30am 11-15-2014 in Anchorage Alaska.   Please forgive Robert for the blurriness of the photo, because they were taken with his iPhone.         Robert Swetz aka "Vegas Bob" doesn't have his laptop connected to the Internet.

Then the photos were uploaded to one of his cheaper laptops and the photos were taken from his iPhone directly from his laptop screen.     The photographs look much better loaded from his D90 on the laptop and the photos would have turned out much better if Vegas Bob had used a tripod.   So Vegas ...
