There REALLY IS something strange in western sky around sunset...!!! | |
Bluepill  User ID: 1367264  United States10/08/2013 09:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes. I get the "wanting doom mentality" of most people on this site, and I don't doubt the doom they all want is coming...but until then...they just look foolish and it discredits everything else they say when planes/venus/Jupiter/etc has them jumping into bunkers...haha... There you go...who the fuck wants doom? I have a beautiful life pal. Your guess was absurd, simple as that. Now if you guessed that Sunnydaze, the OP, and the others who have seen it, are all are putting a big one over on us, I'll entertain that. That at least is in this dimension. Your contrail shit ain't fit for Disney World...well, maybe in "Mr. Toads Wild Adventure" which they ditched, unfortunately. You are a bad case. I tell ya what, when this "doom" of yours doesn't happen, you admit you are WRONG, and then quietly go away...deal? If your comet/asteroid/alien spaceship that you have been snapping pics and vids of comes on down to Earth, I will admit I was wrong. I have seen them come and go time and time again. You put all of your eggs in the first doom basket that came your way, and you failed. Last Edited by Bluepill on 10/08/2013 09:56 PM |

Im in Southeast Louisiana, got a great view of it from Lake Pontchartrain Looks like a contrail at first but remains stationary for about 30 mins before it disappears. My compass pointed SW at 247 degrees. How do I post a pic?

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 47684788 United States10/08/2013 09:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Whatever it is is only visible right before sunset. i watched it through the binoculars for as long as I could before it disappeared as the sunset. There were a few actual contrails around it. I could see the plane through the binoculars and the trail moved with the plane. This is not a contrail. It's in orbit, whatever it is. |

Most people on here BEG for it. They want it. They eat it up. Were you here for Elenin? HAHA give me a break. Doomtards are the VAST majority of visitors. Not enough doom for the day, people complain! I can't believe you said that, and DONT believe you actually think that is true. Quoting: UnmannedAerialPilot Haha. Yeh, but not the kind of doom mentality you make of it, funny. You don´t seem to get the irony of the GLP doominess, I see. Well, you get it some day, I guess. No one talks about bunkers and no one is freaking out, as you wish to make it seem with your absurd statements.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 47684788 well there you have it, if true then i was wrong, because i thought it was visible just after the sun set, perhaps it was? perhaps it is setting earlier each day? i am no expert, just interested and working on figuring it out. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 47684788 Cool, so some planes were close enough you could resolve them in your binoculars, and some were too far away to resolve. Indeed they are a wide variety of sizes in my video as well, but my telescope is large enough to resolve all of them. |

I really looked forward to his contribution but, well, lets just say that it is sorely lacking. Look forward to hearing what people saw tonight. I, unfortunately, can't look until Sunday since work, and Disney with the kids will occupy my time. Look forward to hearing from Sunnydaze. God bless, and good night to all, yes, even you Astromut...PEACE! |

| Dr. Astro Senior Forum Moderator User ID: 33360181 United States10/08/2013 10:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Dr. Astro Neither. You failed to account for the possibility that my community of amateur astronomers WOULD find such a thing before you, long before it reached naked eye magnitude, and that what you are seeing is exactly what I said you're seeing. Plane contrails. It's simple, that's all there is to it, they're just plane contrails. I'm not scared, I'm not pissed I didn't discover something, there's nothing to discover. I've seen this shit before, for years, it's just plane contrails! If you are correct, and your not, then all the witnesses are liars. No they're not. That's a strawman. By eye they just look like little comets in the sky. The odds of the same contrail, in the same area of space, consistently for months, at the same time of day is not statistically possible. Come on man... Quoting: blueIt's not the "same" contrail, it's various contrails from various planes on different days but taking similar routes. It's always at the same time because that is the time when the sun will properly illuminate the contrails to give them their "comet-like" appearance after sunset. I'll ignore the dumbass comment for now, What comment? but I am in Florida too, and if you would like to discuss this, over a beer, face to face, man to man, that's fine with me. Quoting: bluepillI'm sure you'd like to kick my ass, "man to man." Forget it. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 47684788 United States10/08/2013 10:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've been lurking this thread for two days now. I finally saw it with my own eyes. Does anyone have any answers besides "contrail." My girlfriend came along with me. She is not the conspiracy theory type and is usually weirded out by most of the things on this sight. She says satellite or space debris. Astro, you are obviously standing firm with your contrail theory, but since its not, could it be a satellite in your expertise? |
| BoxerLvr User ID: 1298401  Puerto Rico10/08/2013 10:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wow dr astro was always a very annoying no-it-all but I never thought he was a shill. Now I know without a doubt he is a shill. Contrail? Give me a break! What an idiot! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 47581945 Dr. Astro isn't a shill. He's an amateur astronomer. Sorry to burst your doom bubble, but that's exactly what the pics posted show....distant contrails illuminated by the setting sun. I've seen them before and even pointed my telescope at them and saw the plane. It is precisely because it is fashionable for Americans to know no science, even though they may be well educated otherwise, that they so easily fall prey to nonsense. They thus become part of the armies of the night, the purveyors of nitwittery, the retailers of intellectual junk food, the feeders on mental cardboard, for their ignorance keeps them from distinguishing nectar from sewage. — Isaac Asimov |
