Northern lights over Ottawa

I just witnessed one of the most amazing sights ever.

Gloucester (Ottawa) Ontario, October 24th, I just noticed in the skies a bright green color, followed it and it led to a deep red color in the middle of the sky.

It lasted about 5 minutes, then disappeared.

I take it was the Northern Lights, but not to sure about the deep red color.

Yes, what you observed was the Northern Lights!
