Ahh I feel like crying, I know how this sounds, but without evidence yet it is just a kooky story, you are the Skeptic who opened my eyes years ago in ways others need never understand, what you say gives me chills because it is truth. With all of the various experiences in my life, this was something that was totally different and I do hope that it has a terrestrial explanation and that I get that answer fast because I am still just floored by this.

Can you tell me what direction they were heading?

Attention "Pic or it didn't happen" crowd.

From the first page. Please read first if you are going to comment in a snide manner otherwise, you look silly.

I have no cell phone, no camera, no way to have taken images of the sun or the object.

In the meantime, at the moment I find this interesting and am sure that some one will post something on FB, Twitter or Reddit.

It is? Cool! Can you post any links?

There are some here who insist on there being video of the 2+ minute sun halo so I wanted to chime in. It's possible that the halo is there based on localized atmospheric conditions being met so we can't assume that it was seen an a large area, let alone really far away.

Sort of like a mirage to me won't be a mirage to the guy standing on the other side of the horizon.

Pics/video or it didn't happen.

I live in a neighborhood without much traffic. Last night I woke up at 3:00 am and couldn't get back to sleep. at 3:15 am I was laying in bed and a light flashed in my front window, like when a car goes by. Then a few seconds later another light. I got up and looked out the window, expecting either a few cars on the street or a thief with a flashlight (high crime 'hood). Instead, I saw nothing. No cars. No people. And I even looked up to see if a space ship was beaming my front window - but no space ship. I have no pictures or videos of the light flashing ... but it happened.

I don't fully subscribe to the 'no pics or it didn't happen' thing.
I respect your position of 'pics or it didn't happen. No problem.
Pictures are helpful of course. But for me ... pics are not 'all determining of truth'.

after reading the commets, im calling in the BS team to clean up...that's a wrap

No, it's not. If it were anyone but antar I might agree, but she is a long-time and well respected member here with thousands of cogent posts over the years on a variety of subjects. She's not subject to fantasies and would never post any sort of hoax. Compared to someone who posts a couple of times a year I would want to give antar's issues a good, solid hearing.

I don't think anything happened to the sun. I suspect that there was some sort of atmospheric disturbance between observer and the sun that made it look odd. There could very well be a normal terrestrial explanation for what has happened, and no one, including OP, has actually suggested otherwise. I suggest we just wait and see if some more information surfaces. It's way too early to offer conclusions here.

This means that Antar understands our skepticism, and all the more reason for photos/video.
I find it hard to believe someone saw an event like that, and didn't film it. Especially if it went on as long as it did.
Doesn't matter how many previous posts the OP has, all the more reason to capture it on film.
If I can take a photo of a cars license plate as it drives away (from a hit and run I experienced on Friday) then I don't see why you couldn't take your phone out, and get something.
Like I said, pics/video or it didn't happen.
By that I mean in general. I understand the OP couldn't film it, but I stand by my skepticism.
Unless someone took a photo, or filmed it, it didn't happen.

Is this similar to what you saw? This happens occasionally and used to really freak me out.

I have spent so much money over the years on cameras that dont function for me. I am NOT MEANT to get footage. As sure as I have nothing to film with or even snap a photo, things happen, every time. I had given up on ever seeing anything ever again until the kids came home with video the other night. I know what I saw was not a metal trash can spinning out of control or being chased by 5 at least 5 jets in full throttle. Throw in the GIANT halo that happened around the sun for at least 2 minutes and burned my face with in just a few seconds....

I HAD to bring this to the Forum, I had to get the intelligence and information by members here. I am simple, but this was stellar.

ETA ... oooops sorry .. that's from Dec 2013. 6 weeks ago. My bad ...

I don't give a # how much cussing it has on it.
Pics/video or it didn't happen.

Thank the gods! Now I can throw away all of those heavy history books!

When I saw them I was to entranced getting a photo never crossed my mind.

YES. I am no expert or a student of the sun, but yes, it looked very much like that. I am too nervous to read the link, but yes.

reply to post by antar


Presumably this big halo that burned you was a local effect, and nothing to do with the suns else, well, a few hundred million other people would have noticed it.

Given the lack of any other reports, I wonder if it wasn't just a normal, quite common, sun halo? with a bit of added imagination?
