KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City residents who glanced skyward Friday night were gifted a rare treat - a glimpse of the northern lights.
KSHB 41 meteorologist Jeff Penner says photos showing a pink ribbon in the sky around 9 p.m. were likely part of the aurora borealis caused by a geomagnetic storm from the sun.
