Dogthing posted:i wanna watch some poo poo in the sky just flick a 90 degree turn and keep on cruisin My brother told me about witnessing this one night. It's fairly commonly reported. It is possible that some of this is meteors skipping off the atmosphere. There are other commonly reported weird patterns in satellite-like lights. One thing I've heard a lot is two satellite-like points of light directly approaching each other, meeting at some short distance, doing a circular dance around each other, then continuing on. It seems people also report zig-zag maneuvers and s-curve motions. Green laser-like streaks of light have also been seen in some cases. Some of this is confused with natural illusory motions we perceive when we look at points of light in the sky. A stationary object like Venus can look like it's dancing, sometimes. The interesting thing is that s-curve maneuvers were used by the space shuttle to bleed off kinetic energy as it entered the atmosphere. I have no idea what to make of the rendezvous satellites, but I'm sure there's a lot more stuff up there than any government lets on publicly.

We should start keeping our own statistics. How many unique posters posted in this thread last year and how many have had a sighting etc. It seems like every week at least somebody in here is posting about something they just saw.

I've cooled off on the doom-y reads of what's going on, but I feel like that stuff is maybe just part of the picture. Like maybe we all embark on this journey by choice, but the exact bounds of what we came from versus what we cycle endlessly through may not be one and the same. I am still leaning towards a kind of nesting doll reality, and maybe the entire sum of human existence, including what people see during NDE and mystical experience is entirely contained within a lesser sphere

not everyone gets to know, and not everyone gets the same level of information. some people, via whatever means, get the lil nudge they may have needed broad strokes of the course of a life are known going in but by virtue of their ignorance of the nature of their existence free will exists for incarnates, you will end up taking your own path towards major ‘waypoints’, and may in fact stray entirely from them in your own random direction information is communicated using modern language in a manner to be comprehensible to people living in the context of modern society. imagery given is by necessity an approximation of a more abstract truth that can’t be so simply communicated and so and so on you can dismiss Newton’s methods categorically, or assume he’s just making poo poo up, but if he’s making poo poo up he’s done a remarkable job of keeping it consistent and logically sound

new age as a term is too broad to be useful. the vibes based, internally inconsistent grab-bag spirituality is the form people think of when the term is invoked but it's one of a handful of tendencies that, for people who don't give a poo poo, seem the same at first glance. Largely because the grab-bag variant likes to pull from the stuff it gets lumped in with. but there have been a lot of revivals, and a spiritual rennaisance of sorts, as old and untranslated texts get translated, the ideas they contain filter down slowly, until Karen the fascist Crystal Witch is selling you ethnic cleansing talismans, and Jim is spiking trees while invoking an obscure prayer Artemis or whatever. A bunch of cool poo poo is gated behind Brill/other academic publishers and their pricing, because critical and modern english editions of a ton of texts are so niche that one publisher can command high three and four figure amounts for the privilege of reading them in anything but their archaic/dead original languages, but it's out there, and it's interesting when that stuff is actually invoked to reconstruct practices that were largely lost. In that milleu, you start to see interesting patterns emerge in largely disparate belief and practice. Idk. Not saying the Tiktok girl talking about auras and vibes has any idea what she's saying, but it might be worth following the breadcrumbs back to the things those ideas are taken from.

Wheeee posted:not everyone gets to know, and not everyone gets the same level of information. some people, via whatever means, get the lil nudge they may have needed Sure, I get that, and I was pretty transfixed in the moment when I was reading them. Weirdly I found that the more detail he went into, though, the less I was convinced - I found the first book way more compelling than the second for exactly this reason. I dunno, I'm pretty depressive at the moment which is making me highly cynical about stuff in general, but especially "woo" stuff, and especially especially "woo" stuff that I'd otherwise find interesting and/or comforting

I find woo more interesting when I feel it's absolutely not true. Just the human brain doing its thing in concert with all the others and this weird external stimuli poo poo. I have also consumed many, many hours of Art Bell in the last couple years so all I know about is crop circles, cattle killings and Bob Dole.

Twice I've seen the same weird thing in the night sky, first in late 2007 approx. 2 hours before dawn, second in early 2021 around midnight. The phenomenon itself was a line of white light that just suddenly appeared without any apparent direction, motion, or curvature, bisecting the sky. It lasted maybe half a second before fading to nothing, so I didn't have a lot of time to observe, but it seemed to stretch from horizon to horizon. Brightness was roughly in the range of the main stars in Cassiopeia. I think the second was dimmer than the first, but couldn't say for sure. Both were visible despite pretty substantial light pollution though. It for sure wasn't a satellite constellation or meteor. The only explanation I can think of is maybe some particles grazed the atmosphere at some serious fraction of c and shed a bunch of energy, but I've never seen anyone report similar experiences to compare it to and can't remember enough details to confidently confirm/deny it from what little I know. For the the first was on an air force base in Okinawa, the second near the Portland airport that is also an ANG base.

the idea of a bright object careening in from the horizon and taking a hard instant 90° turn being a deflected meteor potentially devalues my presumed close encounter / sighting from 2003 that I reported long ago itt. just can’t remember clearly if it stopped for an instant before impossibly accelerating off at a perpendicular angle, or if it was more of a ping-pong ball bounce.

SMERSH Mouth posted:the idea of a bright object careening in from the horizon and taking a hard instant 90° turn being a deflected meteor potentially devalues my presumed close encounter / sighting from 2003 that I reported long ago itt. i'm thinking the geometry and velocity of the meteoroid would have to be pretty wacky to deflect off an atmosphere at such an angle. the one good video I've seen of it happening shows the object skimming the atmosphere at a shallow angle then bouncing off mostly in-line with its original trajectory. if you saw something taking a right angle turn and then GAIN velocity then it.. probably wasn't a meteor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wbGDJCJk9E
