Yellowstone to erupt? Strange things over night.

I read on another thread that the dark steam is caused by earth mixing with the water. I don't know if that's normal or a bad sign.

The dirt is common, especially when the park has been rattled by any global quake that hit them particularly hard.

Waters rush through the landscape, picking up some things, while dissolving others.

I've not seen much of that this season, as opposed to last spring when we saw a good deal of it.

I would think that if it's sporadic, it's probably normal, while a 'bad sign' might also involve huge continuing 'gas' bursts which, instead of just dirt, shoot chunks of debris into the sky.

Someone called me a shill yesterday, so I'm a bit concerned that anything I post is now suspect.

But I'm basing my considerations on things I have read on USGS sites, and various technical papers I've come across over many months of seeking information.

If that is shilling, I suppose what I'm really doing is shilling shills.

IDK how else to describe my angst over this

If it's any comfort, I don't think you're a shill - I like the way you examine the evidence before calling doom.

hang on, you just said it's VERY COMMON for glowing gases at OF?

links to your assertion please?

Hmm, wish I could have seen that first video. It is now marked as private.

The second video you shared was for the wrong night, but when I go to the right night (6/3/15), it clearly also catches the flash that I caught at the 2:07 mark:



Here's the screenshot of that video that matches with the screenshot that I took live last night:

As you can see from the video it was more brilliant and that one I took live last night was at the tail end and that's why it's not so brilliant.

I've taken a daytime shot from the same video and circled on it the area where this flare was captured:

Thanks for this! There is a path there and on its left side (outside the image) it is the parking lot. If you search the pages back -i think it was on this thread- you will see images from the parking during daytime, when they decided to turn the camera and show around.
Saying this, i really dont know if these are car lights, flashlights from people walking or something else.
But as in many videos we can see the lights light whole areas in the front of the screen (closer to us), maybe these are car lights.

though this looks much like fire.

All right, due to Ostria 1 finding us streaming night time footage out at Old Faithful, I have gone to the night that this guy filmed his video. Here's the video for that night:



I have compared his video to this video. It appears from what I can tell that he is central standard time, just like me, so there will be an hour's difference between his time and the time on the live streaming video. His time will be an hour ahead of the live streaming video time.

The issues we have here I think are that he is zooming into small sections making them look bigger than they actually are. I have compared his video to the live streaming video and here is what I am finding. All screenshots are screenshots taken from the video above of the live streaming video from that night.

The light he sees in the very beginning appears to be a flashlight or headlights. Here is a screenshot I have taken from the video which seems to correspond to what he is seeing:

At the 5:00 minute mark (which is 11:08 his time since at the start of the video it was 11:03), he talks about the water and having never seen that before. It is water from Old Faithful that pools up after it's eruption and I see it all the time. it is shiny because of the sun's reflection. Here's a screenshot from the video from the same time frame showing that it is just the water with the sun reflecting off of it:

I think the flash that gets him all excited at the 5:17 mark (which is still 11:08 his time) is just headlights. Here's a screenshot of around that time frame from the other video:

The little flash he mentions at the 6:20 mark (which is 11:09 his time) is probably just a flashlight. Here's a screenshot of around that time frame from the other video. I've circled the light I'm pretty sure he is referencing:

When he freaks out at the 7:39 mark (which is 11:10 his time), I'm pretty sure it's still just a car headlight or flashlight. Here's a screenshot from that time frame:

[link to i.imgur.com]

At the 8:05 mark (11:11 his time) where he talks about "lights they're shining back there," is still the same flashlights/headlights from the screenshot above.

At the 8:22 mark (11:11 his time) he's talking about the lights in Old Faithful's smoke again. I think it's a flashlight. Here's a screenshot from that time frame with what he's seeing circled:

The red hue he references at the 9:54 mark (11:12 his time) is most likely headlights. Here’s a screenshot from that time frame:

At the 11:25 mark (11:14 his time), he talks about one hell of a venting. To me, it looks like a normal eruption. Here is a screenshot from that time frame:

[link to i.imgur.com]

At the 11:31 mark he makes reference to "since when does lightning come out of a damn vent hole." I'm not seeing any lightning in his video or the live streaming video.

At the 13:15 mark (11:16 his time) he talks about it lightening again. Here's the screenshot from that time frame:

Here is a screenshot from what I think is happening at the 14:17 (11:17 his time) mark:

[link to i.imgur.com]

At the 14:49 mark (11:17 his time), he think it's park people walking around. I'm pretty sure they are tourists. He goes on like they are walking around like it's nothing. If you watch the live stream video above, it is because there really is nothing going on.

I think it looks so dramatic on this guy's video because of the zooming in.

Trust...
Thank you. Like Morgan, You too have a level head on your shoulders. I wish more people were like you.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, even after all this, I am having to still argue on the White Hot Lava thread.

Hmmmm I think Aliens .....

i thought it did too.

All right, I made a video last night trying to recreate the effects seen in the video that is the subject of this thread and it has now finished uploading. When I am zoomed in on the areas, it does appear to create a flashing effect that I was not seeing with my naked eye as I filmed. I didn't realize at the time that I made the video that I was really wobbling the camera really bad, so sorry for that. I may try to do another one tonight in the same time frame and try to keep it more steady. Here's the video:



Also, there was some question as to why the two videos looked different. The claim was made that his video appeared to be darker so I didn't have the right time frame from the second video, even though I did provide screenshots showing a section of the videos I used to confirm that it was indeed the same time frame. I took a screenshot while I was filming so that I could compare it to the video's imagery for differences in lighting. Here they are:

The first image is the actual screenshot of the live stream. The second image is a screenshot of the video I made of the 1st screenshot. As you can see, my video did darken the live stream screenshot. It also seemed to alter the colors, giving them more blue and red hues to them.

Checked thru' the whole video twice and with the sound off ,you can see a lot more without anyone freaking out ..It's car lights and camera flashes ... There seems to be lots of attention for Yellowstone at night pictures ....This video doesn't have a lot going for it if its supposed to fear of a superEruption ......

saviour, do us all a favour and do one.

Is the truth to much too handle ... Look at the video again

Try to ignore the crazies. I know it's hard considering how many find their way here but if you don't learn to tune them out they will eventually succeed in driving you away.

:tripplefacepalm:

Good job though a bit shaking! hehe
I managed to see some flashes when i first watched it but didnt keep the time of the video then i couldnt find them again.
Tonight the feed was down and when it came back (around 3.45 am local time) i didnt notice anything interesting as long as watched it. No people around either.
Also the seismographs have calmed down in general so probably all is quite today.

I think everything has died down ...We can expect to see some sights after all it is a Supervolcano which is not dormant , but if people are expecting to see more than what we have seen already will be disappointed ,some of the flashes can be explained away as camera flashes and car lights ...Notice I did say some ...For the Uk ac I have been watching Yellowstone for quite some time and not prone too installing panic and fear when there is logical explanations ......

Depends, we still havent found the connection with other earth events (eg. earthquakes and volcanic erruptions) if there are some interesting ones. I have a feeling that we will see more during this summer.. and i do agree with your "some" remark

Thanks!

Really sorry about the wobble. I really didn't realize I was doing it and I will probably try another one tonight with more focus on not shaking the darn camera so much. When I watched the video, I was surprised to see some flashes here and there too because I didn't see any with my naked eye while I was filming.

Yellowstone seems to pick up a lot of seismic activity from quite far off EQs and these seem to be increasing in magnitude lately ....There might be a few interesting sights but like I said very doubtful on an |Eruption

You were probably concentrating on a different part of the video ..But tonight I will be watching it as well ..

I am not sure as to what is going on.. but in watching the web cam, there are Park Rangers standing guard at a viewing area. Every time someone tries to walk towards the seats so they can watch the geyser, they direct them further down the path.
[link to www.nps.gov]

And the web cam is not pointed towards the geyser.

looks like there is a buffalo sitting on the grass near the seats.

Thank you...

Wow! Good catch, ladies!

I wish I could have gotten a screenshot of that!

Streaming cam has gone off again ...
