YouTube Description:
Credit: Image Science and Analysis Laboratory, NASA-Johnson Space Center. "The Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth."This video was taken by the crew of Expedition 29 on board the International Space Station. The sequence of shots was taken October 18, 2011 from 07:14:24 to 07:30:18 GMT, on a pass starting just over Vancouver Island to the Caribbean Sea, north of Aruba. This video was taken during the same time period as "Aurora Borealis and eastern United States", but with an eastern-facing camera opposted to the previous north-facing camera. The two videos give two different perspectives of this single pass down Canada and the central United States. The last bit of this video flies over the Caribbean Sea towards the Lesser Antilles.Compiled from frames ISS029-E-29090 to ISS029-E-29408

I'm guessing that it is aurora; a less energetic presentation than this: http://videosift.com/video/Aurora-Australis-as-seen-from-the-ISS

That is refraction at its finest. It also turns yellow, orange, and red (ect) because of the position of the camera relative to the sun and the atmosphere. The atmosphere really is just like a big ocean in the sky, and as such, you get to see all sorts of colors at the right angles, like an earth prism. I watch a lot of shuttle feeds btw
