As someone who's sees the aroura all the time and lives in Alaska, let's clear some things up. Cameras pick up more colors than your eyes, the aroura in person probably didn't look like that at all, most of the time it's more of a white mist with small strokes of green and if you're lucky just a little bit of purple. Of course there are places WAY up north and with little light pollution that have arouras that look similar to this, but most of the time it doesn't look like that at all.
I literally came back from the north of finland, and we saw auroras just like the one in the video with the naked eye, I even got em recorded on a simple iPhone and look exactly like this.
