The implications of auroral He I emissions at 5876 A observed from space and ground-based spectrometry are discussed. Spectrophotometer measurements in a pulse-counting mode taken at 73.1 deg N 129.4 deg E geomagnetic coordinates measured orthohelium emissions at 3889 and 5876 A. The 4876 A lines possessed a 2-3 R intensity, while the 3889 A line was 15 R, with strongest enhancement during sudden commencement. The low intensity of the 5876 A line, although also measurable from spacecraft, prohibited precise line profiles from being made, but helium emissions at the two wavelengths are concluded to be inherent auroral features.
