The "I don't know what it is" to "It is something that reaffirms my cosmological beliefs" pipeline is about an inch long.

M-O-O-N, that spells moon! Laws, yes.

I thought m-o-o-n spelled Nebraska?

I already called my buds in Salem and told them to go into lockdown mode. The pitchforks and torches are coming out soon.

Americans always were. You just didn't have the internet to see how many. If you think evolution and dinosaurs are real, that already makes you smarter than over half the population.

Had an ex who went down a similar rabbit hole and was showing me a shit quality youtube video with "two suns in the sky." Reader, it wasn't two suns. It was The Sun and its reflection in an open window at an angle.

Wow. He’s about to go full flat earther. They use out of focus stars as “proof” nasa is lying to us about space

Not even that, as by posters above, it is just a zoomed in out-of-focus star/planet.
reverendbonobo
I saw a moon-sized orb hovering in the sky over my house last night. It moved slowly through the sky, and it was gone in the morning. Aliens? Angels? Russian spy drones? I guess we'll never know.
bippityboppitybuttsex
Whoah, a low-res image of the moon... scary.
thoushaltnotpass
unfocused star. 50% chance it was taken with a Panasonic FZ-500, bridge camera with insane zoom and shitty autofocus that can't focus on stars and beloved by flat earthers.

Moon? I would have guessed it was the morning star,. especially considering: https://earthsky.org/astronomy-essentials/venus-after-sunset-greatest-elongation/
GlenL
Oh great, so now Lucifer is involved?
Hekatombe
nobodyspecial995
Yep, this is what happens when you zoom in with a low quality camera on a star. They get heavily defracted by the atmosphere, and end up looking like this.

Morningstar?

I had no idea there were that many uses for the term “morning star”. I’m entertained by the fact that both Jesus and Lucifer are on the list! 😂

That's no moon!!

How does the saying go? For all our advancement, we're still just 1 unanswered question from peasants afraid we've angered the stars?

as someone who has snuff fantasies about being publicly hanged, I'm as excited as can be. I even have the *perfect* dress picked out for my eventual execution.

I was not expecting that either. Lmao. Exciting times for them though!

Hey, in any other reality, I would have been perfectly happy to talk about how Eevee is the cutest pokemon, but this is the world we live in.
DingoDingus
I'm not kink shaming, just wasn't ready for that lol
And I never really got into Pokemon. I know I'm a weirdo, but I missed the bus on that one. What can you do

It's out of focus, you dingalings.

That's Siobhan Fallon Hogan, the same actress who drove the school bus in FORREST GUMP.

This post of his is just a desperate "don't forget about me"
cytherians
I'm sick of his slick schtick of trying to come off like a smart & witty hipster, when all he knows is how to play with tropes & buzzwords. People should know his game by now. He's just a long haired & better presented version of Andy Dick.
RaynWisp
He's the worst thing to drug addicts since drugs.
darkstar86
Amazing how quickly he unravelled and lost all sense of that witty repertoire after those sex abuse allegations were dug up.

Me too! Went to see his standup once and it was sooooooooooooo bad

It's a star. It's what stars (or any point sources) look like when they're distorted by the atmosphere and out of focus.
I've combined two videos from this person's youtube to illustrate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYdvjNoJXCg
It's a star. It's what they've always looked like. You don't need to know that, most people don't, it's cool that you didn't. But "unexplainable plasma UFO" and "angel" cannot be our go-to guesses. Please, humanity.
meergull
No, haven't you heard the guy? It's an angel /jk
Zahnradfee
So cool! ... That's why we have "adaptive optics" in terrestrial telescopes now. It's a mechanism that subtly deforms the mirror in such a way that it compensates for the atmospherical distortion.
I love how Sirius goes through all the colours of the rainbow. It's because he is a very large, hot star with a spectrum that peaks so far towards the blue that it looks white to us (and contains all the colours in big enough magnitudes).
bill4935
Maybe my phone is dirty, but I can't read the second name in the image there. Can someone type it out for me?
chammey
When I look through my eyes and then my 50x monocular, Solar system planets get bigger, but I haven't seen any star get bigger beyond infinitesimal dot. I thought the stars are so far away they're just dots, even to Hubble. Wow
chammey
Oh, shit, I missed the over-focus part. So the stars do be very far.
pareidoliaperson
The fools shrodingers cognitive reasoning: It could be either a miraculous religious thing or it could be a miraculous technological thing but never the simplest realistic scientific/tech thing.
StTriniansHeadBoy
UFO is fine, but UAP is the preferred term now because UFO makes the assumptions that what you’re seeing is a) flying and b) an object. So Unidentified Arial Phenomenon really just means that it’s in the sky and you don’t know what it is, which fits perfectly for a star that you don’t know is a star.
Revicus
That makes a tremendous amount of sense. Thank you. I wasn't clear on the distinction.
Daraanel
An 'Unidentified Arial Phenomonon' would be Microsoft Word screwing up a document. You're after 'aerial' :)
Eschscholtzia
thank you, i would have said their lens was just dirty
cousteau
"Plasma flying object" is quite accurate though. But it's neither "unexplainable" nor "unidentified".
AlexSomething
Ok, but Sirius need to calm the fuck down.
(but yeah, this looks like caustics, except with a colorful star behind)

Sirius is having an EDM party.
cytherians
It's not an accident. There are many people out there who salivate at the opportunity to meddle with events, particularly those ripe for conspiracies. There are so many falsified videos out there, with their submitters "innocently" asking "WTH is this thing I recorded?".
Then sensationalism addicted lunatics like Russell Brand get in on it. He is a Loki. He lives for crap like this in almost any genre you can imagine.

"Firehose of lies" technique.
cousteau
That's ridiculous. An order of magnitude means around 10 times more. Bullshit is incredibly easy to produce, and refuting things for stubborn people is almost impossible.

This isn't satire? Nobody could be this dumb. Please tell me, it's satire!
Elkarlo1977
I think they are trying to be funny and missed the audience by a mile and have now to play the tune the dumb ones play.
