Super fast auroral waves, propagating equatorward with speeds of up to 1200 km/s over distances exceeding 1400 km, have been observed at Sanae (L=4) Antarctica by an all sky low light level TV system. Such speeds greatly exceed those previously reported for fast auroral waves, or of any other auroral form, hence the description superfast. The altitude and speed of the waves have been determined using a novel technique that requires only one point of observation. Baseline triangulation from multiple ground based observations can be avoided because the earth is not flat. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1992
