A bit more info on lasts night...
For a short time it seemed the contrail "fixed" it! I could clearly see my old normal moon. How's that for high strangeness. Just when I thought they were the cause, it seems they might be the cure?!?!!?!

It really is strange. It's apparently Mars and Saturn to its left in scorpious with Antares below Mars.
Here's the thing... the path that the Sun, Moon, and Jupiter follow in the sky or the ecliptic plane is at about 70 degrees above the horizon where I am. However, "Mars" and "Saturn" are barely at 40-45 degrees above the horizon. The path they follow is solidly 40-50 moon diameters below Jupiter and the Moon.
Can anyone explain why the # these two planets are way below the ecliptic?
The ecliptic reaches from horizon to horizon (east-west, roughly, it varies depending on the time of year). I'm not sure what you mean by 70º above the horizon. How are you identifying the location of the ecliptic?

At what time of night?

That would be 20º - 25º. What do you mean by "below'?

Mars, Jupiter, and the Moon are where they should be as far as I can tell. Saturn is hard to see though, because the full Moon is so bright. So, maybe the glitch in the hologram is localized? But, come to think of it, the night sky is pretty much 2 dimensional from our perspective so a hologram is not really required. Just a projection on a screen.

Thing is... Now it's looks like two projections on two screens ber close together. At least the effect I am talking about at aleast. I can't explain what One Goal mentioned. I can't even put it together yet what exactly he is describing.
I'm not saying a new planet is there, I'm not saying anything is out of place. I am saying that persistent optical effects are occurring on a constant basis that previously required special conditions, like ice crystals or something is there all the time now. What used to be rare is now common, I have seen a multi color halo around the moon every night since before I started this thread. Through clouds and clear sky both. I believe we have reached a point of critical mass (for lack of a better term), with the amounts of particulates we add to the atmosphere including heavy metals. A permanent change has occurred.
With new tech on the verge of being released such as LiFi is coupled with new nano techs that we are hearing about you and I both know that stuff is old hat. If the public is getting it, the back room rounds seeking every possible way to exploit its usage have long been explored. They are always on the next level stuff by that point. There is really no telling what kind of unreal stuff they have to play with. They always get the new toys first.
