Anonymous Coward User ID: 12597019 United States 05/21/2012 04:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have a Meade EXT 125 . Friday night while adjusting the night I spotted one bright donut shaped object. It was relatively bright but kind of , well not solid. Hard to explain. It was not moving. Western sky. Turned to the southern sky saw several more in varying stages of brightness. The fainter ones fading in and out. Last night I checked again, they were everywhere. Could not be seen with the naked eye and not visible thru the viewfinder. Hundreds of them. Star halos? But there was an anomalie on one. Oh, and I failed to mention, THEY appeared to be the size of a high moon. In other words they were BIG, like the size of a lifesaver candy. Your trippin me out with what you are saying lol. I have no idea what this could be. I had considered posting a thread, but thought it was too weird. There is more to this story. I will post tomorrow if I get some answers. If not I will just keep the rest of the story to myself. |

I felt like i was looking at a fake sky but we get masses of chemtrails so i thought maybe the chemtrails were doing it.

Haelo User ID: 15912807 United States 05/21/2012 05:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just went outside for a cig and looked up at the stars, they all look "strange" i guess? They all looked brighter than normal and looked "closer" i guess. I'm in myrtal beach SC for reference. But yeah, i'm not stoned or on any drugs right now. 100% sober. Quoting: Epicbiscuit "i'm not stoned or on any drugs right now." - well sir I believe we've found the problem, I bet if you were stoned or on drugs they would appear to you as they normally appear to you... good day to you sir... Leave the guy alone. Something weird is going on in the sky. I saw hundred of anomalies on Friday and Saturday that no one can find an explanation for. Never been stoned and was not drunk. Not a drop. What kind of anomalies? I am not a anonymous coward. |
Hydra User ID: 16400882 Germany 05/21/2012 05:54 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sorry to correct you: It's not a matter of collimation, it's a matter of focus. Telescope question Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12597019 What are all those lifesaver shaped objects that I can only be seen thru the eyepiece? I have a Meade EXT 125 . Quoting: Anonymous Coward 12597019 Friday night while adjusting the night I spotted one bright donut shaped object. It was relatively bright but kind of, well not solid. Hard to explain.

Could not be seen with the naked eye and not visible thru the viewfinder. Hundreds of them. Star halos? But there was an anomalie on one. The pattern is called airy disk. It happens when a scope is way out of focus. If in addition the dark spot is not centered in the airy disk it needs collimation. In that case most likely you have to send it to Meade. If you don't know how to bring the scope into focus: RTFM If you are just trolling: lame try. . :ase26122019: Annular Solar Eclipse - December 26, 2019 - Kannur, Kerala, India |

Quoting: Mister Obvious Since the going rate theory is that the stars are only visible because of earth's atmosphere, and aren't even visible in space... Then it's entirely plausible that the stars could look different for earth based reasons. good point. it could also be "the fluff," regardless of if you want to call it leaving an old area or moving into a new area. it's possible, although highly unlikely, that our entire solar system is being "stolen" by another galaxy. hell, anything is possible really... |

Amy_A User ID: 1447484 United States 05/21/2012 11:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I noticed this Moon shaped object about 7:00pm 5/20/12. I was taking pics of the planes leaving trails across the Sun when this object caught my eye. It looks like a small half Moon. Has anyone every noticed anything that looks like this. I had to zoom in to get the shape. These are just still shots although I also have a video of it. I could not tell it was moving and it was barely visible to me. The planes were laying down trails to cover the Sun when I noticed it. Peace [link to s1163.photobucket.com] Amy |

my2centsworth User ID: 5382682 Canada 05/21/2012 06:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well, I don't know, but I can tell you, my hubby... the worlds greatest skeptic... had me come outside on Friday night to see the sky... He wanted verification about what he was seeing. I went out, and he pointed to 3 stars that had a red and yellow look to them... they were lined up in the sky from south to north and we didn't see one constelation we recognized.. and there were lots of stars. Very weird indeed. And as a footnote.. my worlds greatest skeptic asked me to check GLP to see if anyone else was seeing what we were seeing... he usually rolls his eyes to the ceiling when I tell what I'm reading on GLP.. so this was monumental! edit: we were camping in the North Whiteshell.. which is near the border of Ontario, in eastern, central Manitoba.

Chris User ID: 1328574 United States 07/24/2017 10:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I know this is an old thread but, I'm outside and the stars look "strange". I am 100% sober and I have prefect vision. I'm working out in the mountains of West Virginia, and it's a clear night. A lot of the stars look "strange". They almost all seem to be 2 separate points of light with very thin red points on the tops and bottoms and even thinner blue lines in the middle. Other people here at work are seeing it too. Does anybody know what is going on? |
