The first time I ever saw it for real I think was on a small-ish boat in the middle of the ocean, on night watch with most of the lights off.
I have seen it from the backcountry, too, but there's usually trees and shit around. At sea, with all land beyond the horizon, you see the whole hemisphere. Plus you know almost by definition far from light sources, although if you're on a cruise ship or an oil right maybe not.
