How did we come to know about the GBR, the photos taken and to request reviews?

  • Introduction - Brief background on first photographic observations in 2013, location, and appearance
  • Early Observations - Details on initial photographs, number of occurrences, locations, appearance
  • Amassing Evidence - Growing number of photographs by an increasing observer pool, first attempts to triangulate position
  • Height Estimates - Triangulation methods used to estimate immense vertical scale
  • Mapping Efforts - Use of star field matching and magnetometer projections to map orientation and scale
  • Timelapse Analysis - Insights from timelapse sequences showing dynamics and duration
  • Correlation Analysis - Early attempts to correlate occurrences with geomagnetic activity, substorms, solar wind conditions
  • Organized Study - Formation of research team to formally study March 2017 event and others
  • Ongoing Observations - Recent sightings and data collected by expanding observer network
  • Current Research - Status of data analysis, modelling, and preparation of publications
  • Future Outlook - Plans for continued study, monitoring, and science output
  • Conclusion - Summary of current state of knowledge and key remaining questions
