The height of maximum luminosity of an auroral arc is estimated from simultaneous observations at three stations in western United States during a night of general auroral activity (November 27–28, 1959). Photometrically this arc is characterized by a selective enhancement of the [O I] 6300 A line. From twenty-four individual measurements the height is found to be 412 km with a standard deviation of ±23 km for one observation and ±5 km for the mean. The geographical position of the arc, its orientation, and its movement during the night are discussed.
