hey i also live in pa and thats why i said look at the sky something is going to happen never seen the sky like this before this late at night. cotton candy clouds!!!! solar storm may come true.

you do have a point about the other planes not going down but take this into consideration maybe this can help to explain why all of a sudden we are hearing planes going down every week without an explanation or blaming it on some kind of storm (not solar) or the wind. some have even just blamed it on the unexperienced pilot.

no it can't be from the russia volcanic stuff because our sunset looked nothing like the ones you posted. it looked like true cotton candy if there was a plastic stick in the sky i probably would have laughed. the blue was a sky blue and the pink was the color of pink. but i could be wrong but i think this is just the beginning of the solar storm.

Not sure if they cotton candy sky means a solar storm coming, but out of all the years living here, this is the first time it's been so, nice looking heh.

Either if it means something or not, I personally don't mind it, cotton candy sky plus fireworks actually looks really nice...if only I had a date it would be perfect!

We can only speculate on the damage this will do. If it is over a class G, we can expect power outages. God forbid a class S or worse, billions could die.

i don't believe it will be a class s where billions will die i think it could get bad enough for power outages but on the other hand if power does go out many will die since patients in hospitals rely on the power to stay on to keep their life support going. on the other hand it could mean many will die since planes rely on power to communicate back and forth with towers so they don't crash into each other and land.

Here, have a pity star!

Enjoy the sunset, it may be your last......according to some.

It would be nice if you are comenting on the clouds in your sky that you take a picture and post it so we can see it. Thanks!

just a question

if we have a solar eruption on 7 july what does it mean we are not alone and ET's send us message with crop circle ?
is it possible i dont know i try to be rational, and if it happen it mean also all the message in the crop are going to happen, now i feel very wierd my head says it's not possible but in the same time we will have a proof that somone is communicate with us and not from this world...and event are comming.

i'll jump to that conclusion the 7 july if we have this solar eruption we enter to a new era very exciting no.

what does solar activity have to do with et's??? dont be so quick to draw abstract conclusions. look for the hard evidence first. im not saying its impossible. just that there isnt any hard evidence to suggest it. nothing i have seen in this thread anyway. so either yur comment is moot or in the wrong thread.

unfortanutley if i was at home i wouldve been able to get a pic up on here but i am stuck at work with no camera, but it was pretty. anybody else have weird sunsets?

Shooting thermonuclear weapons into the sun would have about as much effect as peeing in the ocean, or passing gas during a hurricane. Trust me, no one's going to notice.

To the best of my knowledge (and of course, I'm not an expert), solar flares aren't going to wipe out our power infrastructure. They could wipe out the more delicate components of it, those relying on computers. At least they could, in theory. In practice, electronic circuits are fairly robust.

The flares aren't going to wipe out the generators, however, nor will they fry the transmission lines.

I'd be more concerned about our satellites. I imagine they've got some sort of protective circuitry, but I don't know how much they can take. If we lose a bunch of those, we might lose some of our communications abilities, though the land-based lines would still survive.

I wouldn't worry too much about this, simply because 1) nothing much is likely to happen, and 2) there's not a thing we can do about it at this point.
