The Northern Lights, that is.
For the first time EVER in the two years since I signed up for the ADEC aurora alerts, it was clear here when there was a potential aurora, and I got to see it!! Faint, yes, but there were distinct greenish rays of light and dark in an otherwise clear sky that I am 99% sure were not clouds. Another good site for aurora information is here: http://www.spacew.com/www/auroras.html.
Too cool!
(ETA: scrolling through the sightings listed at that last site, at least one other person in Boulder saw them too, so I am vindicated! I've now seen an aurora. I feel so... Canadian!)
