Hello! This is my first post. I have been an avid reader of ATS for about a year or so. I have been lurking about for months reading all the interesting topics but never thought about registering. However, I wanted to share something with you all today, thus the reason for signing up. I have to say, I do indeed love coming here. It is nice to be able to read topics and have discussions about them without it ending in a total meltdown.

I have been reading about the infamous GFoL on here and have seen the video which shows Blossom Goodchild questioning the word "snow-cone." In the video it references the Florida phenomenon that shows an artist's representation of the event, which shows clouds being parted, that in essence, resemble a snow-cone. I am sure most of you have seen it, if not, then it can be seen here in another thread. The representation of the clouds being parted made me wonder ...

You see, I like to think of myself as having a scientific mind. I need theories, concepts, and if applicable concrete evidence / proof to write something off as being true. Given that, I started to wonder what the real cause of the split between the clouds could have been. There are numerous amounts of plausible explanations for it - numerous! I sat down and started to think of an explanation and at that moment I realized that the splitting of the clouds in this way seemed oddly familiar - a little too familiar. It reminded me of a similar event that happened here, where I reside.

I knew that I had seen this pattern in the clouds before. I even took photographs of it with my camera, which can be seen here. I will post external links to the images below ...



"Oy!" I said when I looked for the photographs and found them. It is almost identical to the Florida event, however this is in Texas and it happened on 25 September 2007. Mind you, during the time when these photographs were taken, I had no conception of the GFoL nor Blossom Goodchild. The spectacle caught my attention while I was driving home. I noticed the Moon being right smack in the middle of a somewhat parallel space between what seemed to be one big cloud split in two. I thought that to be kind of odd, so I drove home, parked the car, ran inside, got my camera out, and took a photograph of it. I thought, "You do not see that every day" and snapped the photos.

The following day I showed the pictures to a few classmates at the college and they thought it was "cool." I was kind of dumbfounded to think that they were not as interested in it as I was. I wanted to find out what caused this, as there were rumors over the radio that a meteor zipped through the sky and caused the split between the clouds. I emailed Mr. Nemiroff of APOD and attached the photographs in hopes that he could explain what would cause this phenomenon, but sadly I never got a reply. I gave up on the hunt to find the true cause of the split and went on with school work.

Just a few weeks ago I checked ATS to see the latest topics and saw the Goodchild thread that showed the video. Imagine the suspense when I saw the "snow-cone" image pop up on the screen. I knew I had seen it, but I just did not know where at the time.

Keeping in mind that I am a scientific person, I cannot help but wonder what the true cause of the split between the clouds in my photographs are and the split between the clouds in Florida are, which happened eleven months later. One thing I know for certain is that both happened, but are they connected? If so, how?

I... er, I don't understand, Blossom Goodchild says that
a spaceship is comin' and they gave her a sign in the form
of a blue snowcone... this looks like a natural happening on
your pics?

Aw hell, I'm on a Greyhound on my way to Gobblers Nob,
the Naval base there pumps out a strange ray that makes me
feel better, are you sayin' that Blossom is a phoney?

It can't be... can't be.... could it?

Those are not Anticrepuscular rays mate. The pictures in the OP's post are actual clouds parted in a definate parallel fashion. I would hazard a guess that perhaps a plane flew through the clouds at the same level, parting them as such as it travelled through but you would be better off waiting for someone more knowledgable like Ozweatherman to come in and give his take on them.

Good pics though!

an odd phenomena?
Aw crikey, I thought Busom Goodchild was saying that the
aliens were coming... that's just typical... why is everybody
a hoaxer? well, it's back to the trailer park for me I guess.

BAH! at every turn, there seems to be a hoaxer on a con
artist ready to peel the greenback from you.
Well, all I can say is that I'm glad she wasted all her dough
on making the damned snowcone that cast the shadow.

Let's be honest though... that's a pretty big snowcone,
I didn't know they stacked snowcones that high.

Oh yes they are.
Do a google image search, there are boatloads of pics just like that.
This is like the tenth thread on this.
All of them debunked.
