Amazing June for noctilucent clouds View at EarthSky Community Photos. | What?! Noctilucent clouds as far south as Oklahoma?! Paul Smith was in Freedom, in northern Oklahoma, when he caught noctilucent clouds low on his horizon. He wrote: "I saw these bright glowing clouds snaking above the storms I was watching [over the horizon] in Kansas.
