You do realize just how ridiculous that is, don't you ?
Let's assume for a single second that the moon did in fact leave it's orbit .. okay ?
Do you really think you would be the first one to figure it out, by looking at the sky ?
I've heard they've got a special offer on clue-family-packs this week over at the grocery store.
Get one please.

It is moving in a different direction. Its appearing in a completely differnet part of the sky I never saw it happen like this before, its moving sideways to its normal path, Has anyone else noticed this?

Actually, it does.
The moon rises roughly 1 hour later each night, so it does move "backwards" across the sky.

And also, i have noticed, i dont know if it was just that particular time of year. But i also saw such a thing. People are from different places, the moon appears in different places depending where you live.
I saw the moon in one place one week at a particular time, and then i saw the moon in another place a couple weeks later, 4 hours after the first time. And last i recall the moon cannot orbit backwards to that position.

Actually, the OP stated that it had moved and THEN asked if anyone else noticed.
From the OP:

Perhaps my reading comprehension is completely shot; but, the way I read the OP statement is that he/she is presenting this as a statement of fact, then followed by a question of "has anyone else noticed?".edit on 27-8-2011 by Aggie Man because: (no reason given)

Honestly I was thinking, everyone is focused on the hurricane and wasnt sure, I mean i wasnt trying to start fables here. I truely wasnt sure if what I was seeing is what I was seeing....I notice many threads being put up with these same type, non specific to this one, questions. And people need to realize, sometimes we dumb ignorant people ask heart felt questions without intent of pissing people off or considering people would react this way.....Look at those threads, Hurricane irene is a flase flag? know that is far fetch, that eq in virginia coulda been haarp, who knows but, most you all have made what others deem as lame/bad threads. But we who make these are probably being genuine looking for a genuine answer from the few very wise people who come here...
I must remember I am not part of the elite here who can bring their lame threads in pointing their fingers at haarp for every little natural event that happens.

I know many ats members are out to try and discover the first of a new event or happening, this is nto the intent of this thread. People need to step back and TRY to understand the threads meaning , not jsut the words. Very harsh judgemental atsers
It's really simple buddy.
The amount of unsolved mysteries in the universe is infinite, I guess we agree.
And on the other hand, ATS's resources and manpower are limited.
By posting a ludicrous thread, asking a question that you might have easily answered yourself - simply by using common sense - you are wasting resources and manpower, thus it's your fault and your fault alone when humanity never figures out all of the secrets of the universe.
We'll turn into a failed species, and only because you asked if the moon is gone. Please.

i asked a similar question about the sun because even though i know there are variations and things like that, it can be very alarming to wake up and see something like the sun in an extremely different position just overnight and this was happening around the solstice and all other sorts of weird things were going on... so I had to ask because there are things that could effect stuff like that, which would not be good at all. To be alarmed is nothing unusual in my opinion. It's better to ask than to just assume there is something wrong. The moon has always had a strange orbit but there are many pages on the net that can explain all sorts of odd things about it. It's quite an interesting pearl up there in the sky and despite it being all in line with science, I don't think it will lose it's air of magic or mystery any time soon so I think it's perfectly normal to want to keep a special eye on it.

these threads would be needless
plus everyone could at least understand the basics of how things move out there
