We summarize the results of recent IUE observations of the spectra of α Cygni and discuss possible explanations for the Doppler-shifted pure absorption profiles in the resonance lines of the singly ionized metals. The results of detailed modeling for MgII λ 2795, 2802 are presented, and discussed in the context of observations of α Cyg in the radio, infrared, visible, ultraviolet and X-ray parts of the spectrum.
