eMacMan, I think I know in which community you reside.
If so we were camping near a little lake about 20 miles NW of you yesterday and suffered the same clouds. Saw a few stars shortly after 10PM and then the sky disappeared.
No skeeters at all, was quite a pleasant night to be out.
Couldn't resist tinkering a bit. This is a crop from the other image I posted, processed in order to bring out the fainter details - yep, there's definitely something there. Also, the straight line towards the left must either be a jet at very high altitude, or perhaps a satellite.

Sounds like you were up above the Allison Creek area. Gorgeous but lots of rain this year. Should be a nice fall though I hope.

We camped at the base of the wall below Window Mountain Lake.
Surprised at all the logging going on there...
Also took the trail from Hiway #3 south towards Mt. Ptolemy & the caves, we stopped around the 4th creek crossing and had lunch. I was remarking to the spice & chillens that I had never seen that much moss, horsetails and general greenery in the 20+ years I've been on that trail.
It was like being in the coastal Pacific rain forests-just beautiful. Overcast sky, perfect light. And me without my camera...
The whole family laid on our backs on the beach at Thunder Cove PEI and got an amazing star show, complete with many streaking meteorites across the sky. ...two nights of this too! Very cool - Thanks for the "heads up" MacDoc!

Frank Dempsey was driving to his observatory in North Ajax last night when he saw a bright green light illuminate the sky and road in front of him.
"It was far, far brighter than a full moon, and then disintegrated into red chunks and pieces within seconds," he said.

Download the hi-rez video.....and consider that it's the moon it is competing with for brightness. The fade/disintegration at the end is classic.
I've only seen one anywhere near that size going slowly across the horizon dripping green fire - it was just before dusk as I was washing dishes looking out over the escarpment to the south.....cruised slowly across my complete field of view.
Rarely see them going slow let alone slow and big.
People in New Mexico sure got a treat with the one in the video.
40% chance of auroral activity as well over the next few days
