Photographs of the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights)

Aurora Borealis

The pictures below were taken of the Aurora Borealis during a visit to Churchill, Manitoba, in October/November 2010.
Of particular interest are the "scribbles" on the first and third images. What are they? They were not visible to the naked eye and were the only images from the developed film to show such a patter.

Yes, developed film! These are not "native" digital images, they are scanned images from good old silver halide film.
