Day turns to semi twighlight like an eclipse happend for a minute

Nice try....

I opened your day shot of the scene with the sky and reduced brightness in photoboogers. Guess what, it looked dark just like the other darker image but with the sky still showing up and brightly lite. So, by cropping out the sky in the darkened image, you more or less created a man made anomaly for us to throw around.

More BS to kick around.

I forgot, look at the stream in the darkened image. See the water still give off the light reflection from the sky. It should be uniformly dark if this really happened.

living in the UK its not unusual for it to be blue skies & sunny then next min dark its called weather manipulated or not, i've personally driven to work @ 7 am not a cloud in the sky then the next 20mins its overcast & dark. More pics would have helped why stop at 2 if it affected you that much ? i would have snapped a load off (but i know its different 'in the moment')

I don't know. I find the stories interesting, although your picture 2 doesn't seem the same view as picture 1 and 3, unless it is a zoomed in picture, and in that case if you took the picture quick enough or without flash you may have gotten it darker. I don't really buy that you actually took pictures of it happening. Odd though for some reason I figured you as a hoaxer, you saw the other threads and figured you'd post tricky pics in a new thread to seem more legit. I find the original stories complexing and very possible though.

BS? Hoax? manipulated the image?

No, the sky went dark like it does in an eclipse but for a minute, no more.



No I didn't look for a cause, no I didn't try and find what was doing it. I hope the exif data is on that pic.

OK. I was out yesterday in the mountains and want some thoughts about some thing that happend. Its really spooked me, and I would like serious thoughts and discussions about what they hellw as going on.

11.13 am, day was cloudy, windy and rainy, but light levels were high. see image 1.

Then, the day turned so dark I had to stop hunker down and grab another photo to show the different light levels in the day, looking down the valley.

See picture 2.

Then the light returned, like an eclipse had just happend, but a really short no warning event.

So, wtf? has any one else ever seen anything like this?

So what part of...

Then, the day turned so dark I had to stop hunker down and grab another photo to show the different light levels in the day, looking down the valley.

isn't clear? one shot shows peaks... the other... is down the valley... hence they look different...because they are. Clearly stated and should be very understandable.

Next....

Then the light returned, like an eclipse had just happend, but a really short no warning event.

Not night per se, but like the twilight you get from an eclipse. hence i made it very clear that to me it was like an eclipse had happend for a minute.

ok, so shoot me for the thread title which has 'night' in it because I didn't want a title like

Day turns to semi twighlight like an eclipse just happend for a minute whilst i was out in the mountains turning the day twighlight

See what happens? I tried to give a long winded full description in the thread title space..... oh gee look at what happend. It doesn't fit in.





Oh the suprise.

Any chance of answering the other questions from earlier in the thread? There were questions as to cropping the picture eyc which aren;t covered by your current response...

Is that the peak district?
I visit there frequently and the peaks have a whole different weather system which i have endured on many occasion.
When the winds pick up you do have to hunker down as being blown off hillside is not funny.Then pray you have a signal on your mobile to arrange for air lift courtesy of air ambulance.
Winds in the peaks i imagine are not too disimilar to being in a wind tunnel.
I have been deafened on occasion.

There are 3 or 4 other threads right now in recent posts that are about the same thing. Either it is brightness at night, or darkness during daylight... all from yesterday or last night. Why put down a fellow member for reporting what happened to him? I have read many of Dan's posts... seems like a normal guy to me. I doubt he would post this as a hoax, and risk loosing his membership.

Lots of weird stuff is happening right now... and I believe this is a honest report of a weird incident.

Who is pookie?

No detailed EXIF data in the pictures. Do you have the originals?

reply to post by tide8888


Yup I agree, it gets dark during storms. Dark enough that you actually have to readjust your eyes until it passes.

reply to post by kidflash2008


Exactly. That's what I said - they're different.

What I was saying was that I could imagine that the reason they might be different areas/locations, was that one photo might have been taken in one spot, and the other somewhere else during the darkening event (having traveled some distance.) i.e. perhaps the first photo was taken just to take a photo, and only the second was prompted by an event, hence their different locations.

This is just speculation of course. I'm just giving them the benefit of the doubt. I really want to see the full, original images though. Full resolution, uncropped, uncut, and unedited.

I too am curious as to why 2 photos taken within minutes of each other - have conflicting EXIF data.

Numerous people have asked you about this and you ignore it.

So, again: Why do the 2 pictures not have identical EXIF data if they were in fact taken at the same time?

Can you post the 2 UNEDITED photos for us to see. Unedited as in: not cropped, the EXIF data not edited, etc.

A second thread abuot this event, I am wondering if it could have anything to do the the testing yesterday at the LHC?

provide "proof" of something that did not happen? It looks like an overcast day to start with, based on the photos, I've witnessed the sky darken substantially when a low cloud cover obscures a view of a higher altitude cloud grouping that in turn interrupts the sun momentarily... it's called "nature"... your move.

Oh swell - let's hope not. Have you seen the Discover Magazine Editor & cheif's TED.com speech on what you're asking re their black holes and the 10 ways the world could end. Funny and yet ... serious.

www.ted.com...

Wasn't there an ATS thread last week about a guy in US who saw the whole sky light up at night - like the one today. There are a few threads of sudden day darkening and at least 2 of sudden night being lit up (not lightening - much longer) in the last few days. Odd.

They are NOT the same areas. Look at the river and how it winds in the first one. Also check out the hills as they are completely different. All that is asked is an explanation as to why.

I am not sure, but perhaps for some reason the darkened image was taken facing the opposite direction.

Obviously it is not of the same area, as there are small trees/shrubs in the darkened image, and if somehow Dan were to travel to the far distance where in the first and last images, there are small trees or shrubs, it would be almost impossible in the times given. 11:13 - 11:16.

Facing the opposite direction, for whatever reason, is a possibility, but only Dan can answer that !

And I just rechecked, and the first image shows a closer view of the winding river, while the last shows it further away, giving more support to the fact Dan was indeed travelling in the opposite direction away from the distant hills, and turned back to take snaps of the distant hills/river.


Having said that, I've seen the sky get quite dark just from being overcast aswell as a go deep dark red from a fire burning in the distance. That was absolutely beautiful to see, but nothing more than smoke..

so who knows...

im pretty shure it didnt happen
by the weather, its in diferent citys
i just call a friend in Chicago
and he told me that its true he saw it by 6 seconds
something is happen and we know it
just that we dont want to accept
it has just start to happen

It's seems strange to me that you wouldn't look up during the time of the eclipse or whatever it was to see what was blocking the sun. But seeing as you didn't, my guess would be a cloud, as previously stated by others.

I doubt Dan will post the whole of picture 2. He hasn't yet explained why it shows a completely different view to that shown in the other two pictures

Well, it kind of makes sense to me that the area would be different. If it had been the same areas I would have definately suspect hoax or something since posting a before picture would imply that he had prior knowledge of the event.

How would he know to take a "before" picture if he didn't know it was going to happen?

What's odd to me though is that picture 1 and 3 are taken from roughly the same spot, while picture 2 is different. Wouldn't 2 and 3 be the same and 1 different?

I'm starting to confuse myself here, but what I mean is that if he took a pic for the scenic value that would be pic 1. Then something happens after he moves a bit. He takes a pic of that (pic 2) and when it goes away snaps a third photo. Hence 2 and 3 would be from the same location, as he stated he went into cover during the event.

Anyway, I am gonna have to go for the thundecloud scenario myself. I've seen everything go really dark many times, but it has always happened on a cloudy day and when I look up it's always a really think cloud where the sun used to be. If it happened on a clear, sunny day, that's when I'd get suspicious.
