[quote:czygyny:MV81OTcyNTNfOTEyMTE0M184MzZDNTEyQw==] [quote:Anonymous Coward 487016] Impossible to really know what they saw, since the 'photo' is made up. Here are three phenomenon that [i]'may'[/i] help explain it: Mountain shadows: http://www.atoptics.co.uk/atoptics/mtshad.htm Cloud shadows: http://www.atoptics.co.uk/atoptics/clshad.htm Anti-crepuscular rays: http://www.atoptics.co.uk/atoptics/anti1.htm Glad you added inverted commas because none of them do. Mountain shadows: The edges would have been at an low angle to the ground, not vertical, as depicted in the artist's rendition. Cloud shadows: Clouds at the edges would still be visible (if dark) inside the sharp edge of the shadow. Anti-crepuscular rays Clouds don't simply vanish at the edges of such rays, which are shafts of sunlight. [/quote] Most things can be identified by careful research, but some will continue to elude understanding. I always try to fit phenomena into a known category first, then when that is exhausted, throw up my hands and say, ‘WOW!’ [/quote]
Original Message
Mysterious Sky Phenomenon Observed Off The Central Coast Of Florida
Statement:
I tend to notice the skies all the time, but in my 46 years, I have never seen anything like this. All clouds and haze abruptly broke off at the edges of this huge “wedge” of blue sky and were completely missing inside it. It was absolutely surreal.
