No. Boise is an odd place, but the sun still doesn't set in the north. Those are characteristics of the aurora themselves. I captured something similar one time from Nebraska (around midnight, far too late for sunsets rays, even if sunset's rays came out of the northern horizon). The eye doesn't normally detect much color (at least this far south) but the day I saw this, it appeared that spotlights were pointing straight up, all across the north horizon. They would move and dip, some areas becoming stronger and some becoming less pronounced, as you watched it. But the camera caught something very similar to what Tom has there. Very nice!
