Yes, on a icy clear winter night in Madison, South Dakota. It was breath-taking for a young Mexican kid from the north Central Valley of CA.

It is visible a few times a year up here in Minnesota.
One of the coolest things I've seen was the Aurora while flying home from Iraq in 2008. We flew through Keflavik, Iceland and the colors were unbelievable.

Did a Tour in Adak, AK but that is not near north enough. I would love to see it though.

As a North Dakotan I have seen them a few times. Not anywhere near as impressive as they are further north but still always amazing to see and watch.
