help identify what I saw in the sky

soylentgreen · 26-04-2012, 04:03 AM

I don't know if this forum is the correct place to ask this, but it's really got me going and could be related to forum topics. A few days ago I saw something in the sky (keep in mind I am into astronomy, ect. and know what objects in the sky should look like, both daytime and night) Location: California, USA Date: April 20 or 21 (sorry, wasn't till later I really started thinking about this so don't recall exact time/date but it was daytime) It was simply a semi-bright spot in the sky (I've seen Venus in the daylight before, if you know where in the sky to look... it was like that, noticable, but only if you are looking that way) I was trying to see if it was moving. If it was, it was very slow (there was a tree I used as reference) After a minute or so... POOF! It turned into this swirly cloud of smoke. Not like a blast that went straight out in all directions, but more like popping a balloon full of smoke. Then it was gone. I have been thinking this over a few days now and would really like to know if anyone has ideas about what it was. I know this sounds wacky. I'd rather not suggest my ideas just yet (it would bias opinions) This is not some attempt at getting attention, and I have no intention on playing games. This is actually very important to me. If this is not appropriate forum material... ignore this post (I will understand)

My guess is you saw one of our own experimental air craft sporting the new plasma image generators to cloak their presence in an area they wish to observe (spy on) for various reasons. These plasma image generators are much like those used in plasma TV's only these are designed to display images of the local flora and fauna and sky along with probably super silent engines and technology of that sort. I would imagine that when these generators are initiated that they draw a large current and immediately charge the immediate area around the ship ionizing the entire area with a noticeable EMF (elecrtromagnetic field) which is probably the puff image you saw from the charged area as the ship vanished behind the cloak of the image to blend with the background.

Anyway, its as viable an explanation as a god that came down from heaven I guess.

It was a meteorite, it was seen between California, Nevada and maybe Oregon to, it was on the new this past weekend and hundreds of people saw it and even took pictures of it. I would dig up dome links but I am on my phone so just Google it.

tnt1, I'm very open minded, and not suprised at your explanation, but it doesn't fit what I saw. It's very hard to describe in words, but the "poof" had fairly detailed swirls of "smoke"... that's what really got me interested.
rbl 4nik8r, I would not respond to you (I am familiar with what you do around these forums) but your response is valid and worthy of a response (and one of the first things I considered) I read about the "meteorite" you mentioned, and yes, it was one of the first things I considered, but it doesn't make sense because of my location and point of view. The "meteorite" was seen in Nevada and California (my local) but what I saw was from the South/West direction, and since it appeared to stay in place for over a minute, it would have to be heading directly towards me to show as a "spot" and not a "streak" across the sky. I have seen many meteors and "fireballs", and the odds that one would appear as a "spot" for so long is very unlikely... once again, it would have to be coming almost directly at me, so how could people in Nevada (to my East) report seeing it? Also, they reported hearing a "boom". Why didn't I hear this? I wish I had payed attention to the time... that would make this much easier. It could be that I saw another "fireball" (this all happened around the Lyrid meteor shower) If that's what it was, then I might be quite lucky it went "poof" and disappeared instead of continuing towards me!
BTW, as this happened in daylight, it would have been incredibly bright if seen at night. I apologize for not remembering the time/date specifically (huge mistake!) and also for not stating my ideas/guesses (that would just put ideas into peoples heads) Hope I haven't lost everyone's interest. Should have had my camera handy (or at least wrote down the time/date)

rbl_4nik8r · 26-04-2012, 11:27 PM

Thanks for the reply even tho you didn't wish to respond, as for what I do its fairly simple I ask questions and give my point of view on things the way I see things or have learned. You may not agree with me and that's fine just keep in mind I do tend to be civil about things and try not to get upset or pissed at people just because they have different views then me. To me that's one of the biggest problems on these forums, if someone starts a topic an gives a point of view and I come a long and give a different view someone else will cry troll or shill or some other crap, they don't give a pov but attack the messenger I really hate that but learned that's the cost to posting you pov on here.

In one of your other posts you stated you studied Physics, Astronomy, worked on cars and lots of other stuff. I to have done much the same but the one thing I have been doing for years is storm chasing and watching storm chasers something you can do these days online in real time, most of the better chasers stream live these days. This tends to be why I do bring up s lot of things about the contrail/chemtrail topic.

Anyways back to your object you saw, I for one don't have an answer for you but the time line kind of fits, and you could see it but not always be in range to hear it. I know in October 2001 I was walking from my car to my house it was about 100 feet and out of the corner of my eye I caught a green streak and flash followed by a boom a few seconds later. Now this was at night about 12:30ish the thing is I knew just by the color it was a meteor, even tho I didn't get a good look at it. What I did find funny is listening to my scanner for the next hour or so of all the 911 calls that came in of all the different things people saw, it ranged from a plane crash to UFO crash to someone setting off fireworks to a car crash heard but not sure were. You had over a hundred different views or heard it different then the others.

Anyways my guess and that's all it is would put it as the meteor, tho it could have been a plane with the sun reflecting off of it and I would say both are about the same on rarity because the plane and sun would need to be at the right angles for it to show up as a bright ball of fire. Seen this a few months ago on the way to Phoenix as I was coming down 17 from Flagstaff it was very freaky looking for a good 3 or 4 minutes till the angles changed and you could see it was a plane.

You don't think the swirling could be caused from the engines as it sped away unseen? Oh well, I tried. Having seen enough myself that can't be explained I do understand the frustration of not knowing. Good luck figuring it out.

Hi soylentgreen! (Great film!

)
I believe that what you saw was a spacecraft going hyperdimensional.
A UFO.
I have seen them 'vanish' or more than one occasion.
Once in Mt. Shasta, early 1970s - but no 'swirly cloud of smoke'.
Just straight up and gone.

I also saw at night a very large spherical ship falling.
It was on fire - meaning the bottom of the sphere was in flames, like a crescent of flaming fire.
Before it hit the ground, it vanished.
It never hit the ground.
This was in Virginia and came from the direction of miltary bases there.
I immediately drew my on conclusions - the thing had been shot down.
And it simply moved into its own dimension.

There are many many races here and all have a variety of technologies.
Perhaps some leave 'smoke' as they leave this dimension.

And do ignore the resident shills.

As if falling through the surface tension of water only to leave ripples in it's wake.

Yes! Well said!
Brilliant... ... Thank you.

without seeing pics of what you said, it's hard to say what you saw.
People here will say what what you saw......but that is just their imagination.

biblegirl · 01-05-2012, 05:01 PM

What do you think it was soylentgreen? One time I saw a huge neon greenish ball of fire (as big as the moon looks) flying/falling through the sky then disappearing. I have no idea what it was but I found out that my brother and my mom also saw it that night and they lived in neighboring cities. Its always made me wonder

soylentgreen · 08-05-2012, 09:48 PM

I'm still trying to figure out what I saw. Had an idea: the meteorite may have threw off a chunk and this headed back upward, then it fell back down and burned up. Very unlikely, but I have seen meteors do strange things (break into pieces, throw off sparks, make huge fireballs, and even some that come in at low angle and "skip" back upwards) Next guess: space junk. This actually makes the most sense (because there is so much of it) I will admit, that when it happened my first thought was something hovering in the sky and got shot with a weapon (like particle beam) I have been looking at many videos, trying to find something that looks similar. If I find anything I'll post a link.

soylentgreen · 13-05-2012, 09:28 PM

OK, to be honest, there is one more explanation: mylar balloon. It makes as much sense as other possibilities. I am at higher elevation so balloon would pop sooner than one released at lower elevation. Also, they tend to rise, then reach a point where they stop... or pop. This explains why it seemed to be barely moving. I haven't ruled out other ideas: ufo, transdimensional, ect. so this was in no way making light of things, but I'm trying to be open to all possibilities, even a large party balloon. I have been looking at many videos, but unfortunately most people don't lock the focus to infinity (landscape mode) so it can be confusing what you are really seeing. I have decided to keep my camera handy as much as possible from now on (and make note of time/date)
