"H" shaped object, green mist all around it, Upstate NY

I was going with my girlfriend to get a late night car wash and I looked up into the clear sky to see the weirdest sight I've ever seen. In the shape of an "H," way in the sky an enormous green mist in the shape of the letter "H," I have never seen anything like it before, it was very high up in the sky and very large space it took up.My girlfriend was very nervous and I ran inside to get her mother and brother and show them, we looked in the sky for quite a while and observed the event, we were all in astonishment and in awe. We live in central New York, so it's not like our eyes were playing a trick on us like the Northern lights or something. I just hope more people saw this it was truly strange.
