I think you were a bit to early. Listened to MétéoMédia yesterday and they advised that the best window for watching the Aurora would be between 2:00 and 5:00 and they may have been right on for once. Video didn’t work for us as well.

Really? Damn! That's too bad. When we left our spot, it was slowing down big time. I was back home at 2am EST. I looked back at the 3h forecast page of NOAA, and Montreal was almost out the aurora oval. West of Canada was having the big show. It comforted me knowing "it was over" so I could go to sleep without missing much lol
I found a superb real-time photo Gallery of Northern Lights to enjoy for those who did not see them

If Starlink is struggling now, we're only 3 CME impacts into this shindig. Most grids are holding, satellite radio and gaming platforms, plus some websites like Disney+ and Target were having issues. We've got 4 more CMEs to go. The last one, the 7th, was the largest, an X 5.8. But Davidson says there's only a small likelihood of a Carrington Killshot. More likely there will be extended network and systems issues, so there's a chance infrastructure will be affected.
The geomagnetic storm has decreased to G2 for the moment.
● Moderate G2 geomagnetic storm (Kp6)
Threshold Reached: 15:20 UTC Solar wind speed 765 km/s IMF 14nT
At this time (15:48 UTC) people in East Asia may have a chance to see auroras. Moderate Radiation S2 storm persists

It appears that the X5.9 flare had an associated CME, confirmation models are awaited.

Interesting timing - HAARP was turned on in Alaska during the auroras.

HAARP can cause artificial auroras - so maybe HAARP was turned on during this real aurora event in other places, using the real show as cover?

Its been all overcast at night where I'm at for the past three days 
In terms of a "reasonable" story, I would think researchers wouldn't want to launch a test of something during an actual event that could skew their results (AKA a CME hit), unless if the goal was more monitoring related. Hm, I guess also could send something with the auroras if one knows how?
I'm wondering if they're trying to set the stage for a future claim of a natural event as their own? So in the future if there's any unexpected auroras that dips farther than normal.. Oops! it was just HAARP!Interesting timing - HAARP was turned on in Alaska during the auroras.

I don't think they were measuring anything. The C's have suggested that HAARP is designed, at least in part, to 'resurrect the Atlantean crystals', with one possible use being effective mind control:
May 4, 1996:
June 9, 1996
Feb 22, 1997:
I infer from the session below that HAARP is also part of a general attempt to artificially contour Earth's EM grid.
July 18, 1998:
I don't know much about the Atlantean crystals, but somehow they stored and moved energy. If HAARP is designed to resurrect that in principle, maybe the array was turned on (1) to 'harvest' in some way the influx of solar energy causing the auroras. Maybe the grid is contoured to allow this kind of thing to happen.
Either that, or (2) HAARP was activated in preparation for the upcoming program change - a mind control test run, under the cover of the auroras? Or (3) they were happily beaming away like they always do, and it was just a coincidence that they did so on the date the auroras arrived.
Whatever it was, luckily we can become stronger by noticing the beaming and resisting its affects through self-remembering:

Did anyone feel weird during the 8th-10th? I know some people who reported headaches, but what about any unusually murderous thoughts?
X1.0 at 16:46 UTC from AR3664 the flare generated a Strong R3 radio blackout over Americas
Geospace unsettled (Kp3) S1 radiation storm on Polar Regions
Yes, I felt a bit weak like the beginning of flu symptoms, had some tachycardia similar to anxiety symptoms also.

Well, if it has anything to do with what's been happening to me for a while now, it's more like a black cloud on my head. Cranial pressure and continuous negative fatality.
It's quite boring in the sense that knowing that it is something external to me, it bothers a lot, especially when I wake up in the morning with that black cloud in my head every day.
But knowing it helps, at least for me.
On the contrary, during my time outside observing the aurora, I was kind of in a kind of euphoria and trough out the day yesterday, I was in a very merry kind of mood all day but, I'm presently writing a post that may give a different perspective or a complementary one to your post above. I will share my thought and questioning soon, it is almost completed but as today is mother day here in Canada, I may not have the time until tomorrow. Let just say that as for the covid miscalculation that obliged them to come with the vax to prevent beneficial reaction in a portion of the human population, using as you suggested the energy from the aurora may produce the same effect in some case, reinforcing certain human.

In the region of Catalonia in Spain, the trains arriving to the city of Barcelona have stopped working due to electrical fires in the tunnels that reach the city. The electrical fires were reported around 02:00 UTC of sunday 12.
The official explanation of the Spanish government is a theft of copper from the tunnels carried out by thieves.
It is not known when the trains will run again, but they were thieves.
Nothing strange to see here.
