Last night, which was overcast, I noticed a strange green glow in the sky to the North of Newbury, giving the cloud cover the appearance of a hazy green mist.
A relative could also see it from south Newbury when I alerted them.
Obviously not the moon, so I assumed it might be due to the green laser that Harwell sometimes points into the sky.
Out of curiousity, I called Harwell today, who tell me they haven't used the laser in the sky since June.
Any ideas?
It was possibly this:

Thanks for that Jeff.
It had crossed my mind that it might be aurora borealis, but the glow seemed static and we are rather far south for that.
I have never heard of airglow, but it fits the description, though it must have been bright to have been visible through the hazy clouds.
