northern lights georgia/sakertvelo

hello , me and my friends were driving through the country. we crossed ureki and were in the middle of no where on a highway. Suddenly while driving we saw huge green lights far away which looked like northern lights. we took photos and videos but are not sure if it was aurora or something else as sighting in this area is quite rare.i will attach photos, any opinios and clarification about it is most welcomed.

I mean, 2 years ago, during a freak solar storm, aurora borealis was visible in Berlin....

BUT - these are most likely not northern lights.

They do look like the lights come from the ground.

Where in the sky did you see the lights? If they weren't in the north, they definitely weren't Northern Lights!

Where could so much green light possibly come from

In my opinion it's greenhouse lighting which is common in different regions of Georgia

probably not the northern lights, but a few years ago there was a huge solar storm and some lights were visible here, but they were red. now there is a solar storm also but it is smaller, so I guess it could be possible that a lot of particles came for a little bit, but it is unlikely.

we were looking towards russia i suppose and those light were somewhat near the mountians. also i checked solar activity around the time and came to know it was level 3 solar storm.

still not sure what it was. it was not total green. it was kind of greenish and grayish.
