Me and my friend were walking his dog and we walked towards the beach, right before we got right at the beach we saw a line of circles that seemed like clouds and after a little while we saw a orange like light/ flash in one of the circles and then after the first one we saw two more next to the circles, after that when we got closer to the beach we started seeing really vivid northern lights. We didn't get any photos or videos of the flashes but we did take photos of the northern lights.
