On 2 April 2026 between 20:16–20:22 UTC, I observed a STEVE event south of the auroral oval in Ørsta, Norway. The phenomenon began as a purple/magenta subauroral blob, which then elongated and developed into a well‑defined east–west STEVE structure. The emission kept a stable purple/magenta continuum throughout all phases, with no auroral curtains or oxygen‑line features. High‑resolution images with UTC timestamps document the full sequence from initial blob to dissipation. Solar wind conditions were already disturbed by earlier CMEs, creating good conditions for STEVE on 2 April. Details: Canon 650D, 8mm fisheye lens.
