Is this an Aurora?
This was shot roughly at the time between 8:00-9:00 PM just as the sun was setting in Washington state. I've seen Aurora lights at this same location once before but never this intense of a color.
It was bright red, changed frequently and it happened just after we had a storm. It was underneath the clouds and it was less visible when the sun had gone. According to my research, at the time it was taken there were recordings of a GI storm in the area.
Side note: some pictures were slightly edited to make the "Aurora" pop.
EDIT: answered! This is just a sunset, a very pretty one at that. Thank you for all your feedback.
