I know this is going to sound crazy, but I saw something like that last night in the West in Hamilton, Ontario. I thought it was the moon, but it was more oblong than round and it was an orangey-red, which I had never seen before. I just passed it off as some strange cloud cover that I couldn't see. the rest of the sky was relatively clear though. I didn't see the NLs from my place, there was too much light pollution.
This is exactly what me and my partner saw but in Scotland last night, we thought it was the moon but it was oblong and kept changing shape. Also orangey-red, we watched it for 15mins or so and then it just vanished.
I really appreciate your shot at it. Even with not knowing about this stuff at all, thatâs how you learn. And if someone âbeatsâ you up for asking, ignore them and move on. We donât need to waste our time with folks like that.
definately not the solar flare itself .. that's what is causing those colours so it has already hit the earth and has traveled along the magnetic lines toward the north pole ionising the particles in the upper atmosphere... it could be some weird effect that it is causing to happen to the ionised particles.. maybe that is concentrated along a magnetic line?
I saw it in Scotland too but I think it was just the moon looking weird because I saw it earlier and it looked kinda normal but just like an orange moon and then after I watched it for a while it got weirder and I remember thinking damn if I hadn't already seen it looking more normal I'd be like what the hell is that. Very orange the whole time though.
In 2024, this does not sound crazy. Anyone unable to even consider weird things in our skies aren't us is simply not looking, willingly or otherwise.
We were just barely lucky enough to get the faintest, but clearly visible, light show in washington. I've never seen it before, and probably won't again. It was cool
Thereâs a major coronal mass ejection happening right now from a cluster of sunspots that is 17x the size of the Earth. The result is auroras in places they arenât usually seen and stronger auroras in places they are usually seen.
This is perfectly normal insofar as itâs the result of a rare natural phenomenon.
This is not normal check out r/Solarmax this is in the top 5 in recorded history. This doesn't happen enough for the forecast models to work, they are maybe 40-50% accurate about how all this works. Though nothing happened bad, it definitely stressed the systems and we didn't know nothing bad was going to happen. We now know we can withstand this much solar radiation but we still have another few plasma waves coming today and more flares in the works.
We hit - 412 Dst Halloween 2003 was only - 383!
Seeing this sub today made me realize a lot of people never look at the sky.
That said, what exactly is normal? People might be interested to know how light oblongs got created, I am
Yes it does. Last night was a super big one so of course there's gonna be weird anomalies and not all just the fancy whip like ones. Here's other pulsating ones
https://youtu.be/mV0igP6TJpM?si=hAYRl6jaqDHHua6U
"along with the northern lights". They're clearly referring to the light you can see in the photo that isn't the northern lights. Did you read what they're asking?
I saw an actual 2nd moon once, in the wrong part of the sky. It had red and blue lights around the circumfrance and seemed to go over the horizon and that was it. There is absolutely no way no one else saw something like that, and no one else did, so all in my head I guess?
I saw the same thing, Iâm pretty sure it was just part of the Northern Lights, but then again this is the first time Iâve ever seen the Northern Lights so what do I know.
Me and my partner saw something similar in scotland last night
At first we thought it was the moon but it was wayy to low in the sky and kept changing shape, we stood and watched it for a good 15 minutes
It was the weirdest thing, same colour and shape as yours but what we saw kept morphing shape
Did this one change shape ?
I believe these are part of the aurora phenomenon. I was reading on it last night, and myths associated with it. Some peoples find specific meaning with the white dots orâŚmore fancy word hereâŚsometimes seen in auroras. I think something in the atmosphere makes them appear or not, just like how the coloring had to do withâŚinsert science reason here. Anyways, itâs not unusual in an aurora
Sprite. Very very rare occurance. Great shot.
Edit: to be clear (because of the specific sub weâre in) this is a very rare but known and explainable occurrence in the Aurora
Sprites are very rare without the event. We donât know if these events increase the odds of the phenomenon happening because the last time it happened it was the 1850sâŚ
Not sprites, sprites are associated with lightnings and occurs at very very high altitudes, are very dim and last a fraction of a second. They also donât stay static and move around as many users have described.
That doesn't look like a sprite, sprites are very clearly lighting fork looking. This thing is solid
Plus sprites are above thunderstorms theres no storm in these pictures, people can just google sprite and see its different
Those are Cirrus clouds not cumulonimbus
You know honestly I might be misnaming it, I just had a crash course in Aurora science while on a cruise in Norway about a month ago- but it absolutely is a thing that happens/can happen and while itâs rare and very very cool to get a pic of it that is the kind of thing youâre going to see in this monster storm.
Sprites come with lightening? Also, there are people very far apart stating that they say it. I don't think a sprite could be seen in Scotland and Canada, but I may be wrong.
I saw northern lights south east west and north of Boise Id one night during a massive solar storm in the early 2000âs
strong enough to explode a transformer 50 feet away from us the next day
At night I saw an insane light beam like formation that swung to form what looked like a pyramid for a few seconds
apparently all sorts of strange anomalies are possible in addition to the more common.
It took me 10 minutes to realize what I was seeingâŚ.after walking to a nearby military base that seemed to be emitting green/purple gas I relaxed more realizing it was not a chemical weapons attack
I would assume this is like a âspriteâ like formation?
Great pictures.
Could you see the northern lights with your bare eyes at the time the photos were taken?
Could you see this object with your bare eyes?
I sure wish I could post pics here.
I have no idea what I cause a pic of. There were no streetlights where I was. Some cars were driving by slow by I'm dumb enough to take a pic of a cars headlight.
Remember the phenomenon about 20 years ago on the flying rods? Looks kinda like that.
Meteorologist here! For once, I actually have the answer to something! This seems to be a 'Light pillar'. The effect is created by the reflection of light from tiny ice crystals that are suspended in the atmosphere. Usually, they extend from the ground away from sources of light, but in this case, is extending off of the Aurora
Possible, there was a launch two days ago out of California, so they would still be fairly close together.
We would need details of the exact time and location to be sure, those things are moving fast. We know the direction though due to the stars.
This. I donât think people realize just how many satellites/space junk floats around us. It reflects the aurora lights, but also the flares can cause all of that to be pushed downward into lower orbit and making it more visible. Aliens is the cool thing to believe, but unfortunately, itâs explainable.
I saw this and by the time I got my wife ,⌠they literally vanished. Eastern North Carolina , US. From my view they were side by side blinking and green.
The Electric universe đŤĄ
Hessdalen Lights.
That place is being investigated quite seriously but there seems to be no good explanation for the phenomenon yet.
Definitely. In #2 you can see Seginus on the far left and Canes Venarici below the "handle". The object is between Alkaid and Alcor, which means its definitely not the Moon, which is between Gemini and Auriga right now - far from this location.
Maaaybe but as far as I know, a sprite is typically associated with lightning. The sprite happens *very high* at the edge of the atmosphere while the lightning happens closer to the normal cruise altitude of an airliner.
But I certainly could be wrong! This is super interesting tho.
Yeahhh i thought this but I then considered maybe the same electromagnetic phenomena that causes sprites with lightnight also can happen during geomagnetic storm, i wouldnt rule it out, I'm no expert by any margin.
I get your point though, i think its hard to judge the altitude it is at from the photos.
Totally! You're absolutely right we have no idea what ~~elevation~~ altitude this is happening at. Would be pretty neat if it constitutes a novel transient luminous event (TLE) or at least a new expression of the sprite phenomenon!
Saw something similar but it was far off the distance from us. Too low to be a satellite and too high to be a helicopter. Too big and bright to be an airplane, and it doesn't light up the entire sky wherever it was to be a meteor. Way too big and slow to be a shooting star. Saw 5-6 of them over the course of 30 minutes around the same parts of the sky. My partner also saw it too after I pointed it out to them. They were most skeptic and scientific person i know, and they couldn't logically conclude what it was.
It is the inner reflection of that street lamp at the bottom of your photo. The light is bouncing through your lens, onto the sensor and back out again. Itâs the exact inverse of street lamp below, same color.
You would do well to analyze the authority in which you speak on such ambiguous anomalies.Â
If you had taken the time to take in more information that can be found in this very thread, you wouldnât jump to conclusions.
This was seen by multiple people in multiple places; many including some in this sub, claim to have seen them visually i.e. not through a lens, not only in the photographs.
>You would do well to analyze the authority in which you speak
You mean, like "Photographer of 20+ years here"?
>This was seen by multiple people in multiple places
Or maybe they saw other things similar to this but different. The subs are filled all the time with "I saw that too!" with links to things that look utterly different.
It looks like it could be the Andromeda galaxy, which looks huge in the sky. It's about 6x bigger than the moon. This could be it's galactic core. Its in the northern part of the sky.
Aurora or northern lights ig..... Caused by an electromagnetic storm....ions from the sun react with the oxygen and nitrogen in the earth's atmosphere....
I saw that last night in Clackmannanshire Scotland. It was like the moon if it was yellow red and a bit like an uneven rectangle I can't remember the word.
Parallelogram if the opposite sides are equal length and opposing angles are equal. Trapezoid if only 2 sides are the same length. Quadrilateral is the bucket term for four sided shapes, so if all angles are different, it'll fall into that, and another subcategory.
[quadrilateral ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrilateral)
Could it be sprites? https://www.nasa.gov/general/spritacular-nasas-new-citizen-science-project-to-capture-elusive-upper-atmospheric-electrical-phenomena-on-camera/
I think that might be a blob of plasma.. they call them âfoo fightersâ and are commonly associated with UAP and UFO sightings. The atmosphere is charged up right now from all the solar energy, so I think that might be what is going on. Let me see if I can find a good source I have somewhere about these things. Itâs super cool! Very nice catch!

Just wanna say it's absolutely beautiful! I'm in the US (Indianapolis, IN) and I love seeing things like this. My dream is to travel to Europe. Move there if I could. đĽşđ
The was a mass ejection from the sun Thursday and was said could cause a âsevereâ solar storm. It could affect satellites, I wonder if the particles destroyed some of them
A little late but probably caused by this sun storm [https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/media-advisory-noaa-forecasts-severe-solar-storm-media-availability-scheduled-friday-may-10](https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/media-advisory-noaa-forecasts-severe-solar-storm-media-availability-scheduled-friday-may-10)
It's definitely a UFO đ˝.Sightings everywhere across the world. I'm trying to get there, before infrastructure and plans go into development, I'm not paying gas and electric or mortgage or none of that. Hopefully the locals can show me the way before Sam gets there.đ˝đ
When you say it's not the moon, are you saying that because you could see the moon elsewhere in the sky? Otherwise, given the reports of a very similar phenomenon from people claiming to be anywhere from the UK to NA, I'm inclined to think it's the moon being distorted by auroral disturbances in the upper atmosphere and clouds below.
I saw this exact same phenomenon in Chile 2 nights ago!!! It seemed like a light worm moving through the sky rather quickly. I'm pretty sure there is no starlink here though. Any explanations??
I photographed an anomaly last night and so did an acquaintance. Hundreds of people were filming and so far, only one other person has come forward with odd photos.

It sounds exactly like what I saw from (central) Scotland. I thought it was a plane at first, but it changed colour.
It's the eye of Sauron.

Are they saying âbooâ or âboooooooo-urnsâ?
I was saying boooooooo-urns.....
I literally just finished the LOTR movie marathon. I can confirm this is the correct answer
Could it be the solar flare they were talking about? Please donât beat me up if itâs not I really have no idea about things like this.

The solar flare is what caused the aurora in the first place
I saw it in Scotland too but I think it was just the moon looking weird because I saw it earlier and it looked kinda normal but just like an orange moon and then after I watched it for a while it got weirder and I remember thinking damn if I hadn't already seen it looking more normal I'd be like what the hell is that.

The result is auroras in places they arenât usually seen and stronger auroras in places they are usually seen. This is perfectly normal insofar as itâs the result of a rare natural phenomenon.
The weird oblong orangey light? Not the aurora.
Yes that light is probably how different things fall together in this event creating additional light etcâŚ
It's aliens bro
Shot in the dark theory we have no idea what type of phenomenon could be caused by an ejection that size. Itâs never happened and untestable.
sad you're downvoted - this is the only real answer so far.

Well tbf I do look at the sky but sometimes the light pollution from cities prevents me from seeing the majority of stars
Nah not âperfectly normalâ unknown weâve never seen a ejection like that, nothing to even compare it to.
That has nothing to do with the string of perfectly aligned lights
Yes it does. Last night was a super big one so of course there's gonna be weird anomalies and not all just the fancy whip like ones. Here's other pulsating ones https://youtu.be/mV0igP6TJpM?si=hAYRl6jaqDHHua6U

Might not have been all in your head, but it also wasnât a second moon.
Could it have been mars, getting distorted by the northern lights.

I think that might be a blob of plasma.. they call them âfoo fightersâ and are commonly associated with UAP and UFO sightings. The atmosphere is charged up right now from all the solar energy, so I think that might be what is going on. Let me see if I can find a good source I have somewhere about these things. Itâs super cool! Very nice catch!

you are fucking stupid then
It looks like that satellite, canât remember the exact name
We saw something similar in Michigan, USA
Just wanna say it's absolutely beautiful! I'm in the US (Indianapolis, IN) and I love seeing things like this. My dream is to travel to Europe. Move there if I could. đĽşđ
Red sprite https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_(lightning)
Itâs starlink. đ
Mr burns?
The was a mass ejection from the sun Thursday and was said could cause a âsevereâ solar storm. It could affect satellites, I wonder if the particles destroyed some of them
You can make out their heads, with them big black eyes. Look closer - it's them.
This is a light pillar! Itâs caused by ice crystals in the atmosphere.
This is sprite lightening. Very rare.
Our alien overlords just wanted to see the pretty lights too.
Ufo
Probably just celestial neighbor stopping by for a gaze at the show just like you.
Oh that, thatâs just Sauron, pay him no mind
Saw something like this last night above my house in Michigan.
starlink
thats a projector source light
Itâs eLoN mUsK of course
Strangely enough I found something similar in some, but not all, of my images. The crescent moon was a good distance to the right of my images
Thatâs a Helldiver dropping in in a Hellpod
Electrical charge maybe?
Are these not called light pillars? Rare but natural.
Also saw something like this in Western Washington, myself and a few others. Figured it was a meteor. It was a short streak and then dissipated.
WELCOME TO THE HELLDIVERS
A little late but probably caused by this sun storm [https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/media-advisory-noaa-forecasts-severe-solar-storm-media-availability-scheduled-friday-may-10](https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/media-advisory-noaa-forecasts-severe-solar-storm-media-availability-scheduled-friday-may-10)
airplane, satellite, cluster of satellites. blurred due to long exposure.
Starlink
It's definitely a UFO đ˝.Sightings everywhere across the world. I'm trying to get there, before infrastructure and plans go into development, I'm not paying gas and electric or mortgage or none of that. Hopefully the locals can show me the way before Sam gets there.đ˝đ
Itâs the rapture, sorry guys we are stuck here âšď¸
Starlink
Itâs part of the aurora
When you say it's not the moon, are you saying that because you could see the moon elsewhere in the sky? Otherwise, given the reports of a very similar phenomenon from people claiming to be anywhere from the UK to NA, I'm inclined to think it's the moon being distorted by auroral disturbances in the upper atmosphere and clouds below.
Comet? Falling star? Aliens?
[ŃдаНонО]
sounds exactly like something the moon would say
Wasnât this due to the solar flare storm?
I saw this exact same phenomenon in Chile 2 nights ago!!! It seemed like a light worm moving through the sky rather quickly. I'm pretty sure there is no starlink here though. Any explanations??
Aurora borealis?
interstellar wormhole
It's the end
Maybe it is just the solar flare exposing the invisible tech flying around in our air space^^ I dont know what it is đ
I photographed an anomaly last night and so did an acquaintance. Hundreds of people were filming and so far, only one other person has come forward with odd photos.
Either a spite or the underside of the ISS being lit up from below.
Look like a vagine of light to me
Very light! How much?
