I already said that last bit of my comment... Anyway, never understood the need to differentiate between the two. They are both Aurora Polaris and look the same.

Edit: here is a picture someone in DK took yesterday. This is how it normally looks in Denmark. Not only the green color you typically see when you are directly underneath it. https://www.reddit.com/r/Denmark/comments/11e2src/jeg_ville_ogs%C3%A5_v%C3%A6re_med_p%C3%A5_nordlys_b%C3%B8lgen_s%C3%A5_var/

Not many, but I bet many have seen it and not know what it was. Most of the time, the northern lights aren't as colorful as this. Seen it in Denmark a couple of times and it honestly looked like a mix between the Milky Way (as seen from earth in an area with very little light pollution) and clouds. No color. Only by using my phone was I able to know that it was the real deal.

Make sure you do it in the right spot. Maybe you can see the colors in the right place, maybe not. I am not even sure. Yesterdayy I saw it here in Denmark. Looked like some grey clouds near the horizon. Only by making a 30 second exposure was I able to see any color and determine that it was in fact Aurora Borealis. 1/10
