Please tell me this is just the moon??!!

First, how do I post pictures on here? I have about 4 or 5. Now, the time was 5:20pm here in Ohio. I was driving towards Columbus, OH from Sabina, OH, on I-270 Dayton. (Have a picture of that too, in case) Now, I should have recorded a video, but I was in my car and had only my phone, so the distance isn't too great. However, EVERYONE ON THE HIGHWAY saw this thing. It appeared at first to be a light blue moon shape in the sky, behind clouds. Immediately I thought it was just the moon. The Sun was behind me(took picture of this to show that too) This moon object in the sky began turning into a more orange-sun color, as it also appeared to descend. My pictures of my Samsung Flight II aren't the best, but at least you know there aren't any lens flares( even took a picture SHOWING a lens flare)

upload them to tinypic.com or something and post the links here

Click TOOLS then ATS Uploads to the far right.

If I ever get the chance to see a UFO I think I would pull my car over and get some steady shoots of it. it could be the only change you will ever have in your life.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing alot of pictures of this "giant glowing moon ball" there should be 1000 of pictures of it since you say its moon sized and everyone on the highway was seeing it

About 10 pictures, some very vague, but there is one very GOOD one. I did the upload on this site, and they are in my Image Folder 1. How do I get them here?

Some of the sloppiest image embedding i've ever seen, but it's viewable




Thats the best one out of the 3(4). Anyone have any guesses? Looks a little like the sun dogs you see as the sun goes down, but can't say for sure.

Peace

Ummm, looks like the sun setting behind clouds. Nothing unusual there. You HAVE watched a sunset before, right?

But the sun was behind me? Just do a search of where the sun was in position with me heading towards Columbus, OH which I believe is North, the Sun was setting to the south, wait look at this picture, and look behind my first and second finger?

Did it look like this?

Click on the photo to enlarge. Looks cool big.

Moon photo

Question...since you said everyone on the freeway could see it too...and I see a lot of cars in your photos...

Did any other cars pull over to watch it.....

If your facing east, slightly north, yes, the moon.
It's extremely bright and full over the last couple of days, it isn't even getting dark enough to see most of the stars I usually see up there.

Probably came up reddish or yellowish from the sunset in the west...

Usually the sun sets a little south of west.

Not south.

I was driving and trying to take pictures with my phone. What did you expect?

So it is just the moon, good to know. With all these crazy stories coming out, feels good to know at least the moon is fine tonight.

A mass pile up?

reply to post by Thundersmurf


I assume this picture is more or less facing east? When the moon is almost full it rises shortly before sunset. I noticed the moonrise last night, and it was pretty bright at dusk. I'd say this was the moon, but I doubt if you saw it "setting".

At least then I would have a better story for you guys, instead of wasting your time showing you a picture of a moon, my apologies. I am still waiting on my telescope to come in, I will familiarize myself with every object in the sky.

I happen to be driving at the exact same time as you, in VA. I saw the moon, it was huge and orange..... The sun setting was just coloring it that way. I have seen it like that before hundreds of times. Nothing unusual about it at all.
It was beautiful though.

Also I hope you'll familiarise yourself with the common sense involved with stopping your car in a sensible place clear of the road before taking photos in the future.I've just finished watching a program on TV of horrific crashes on American highways all caused by people not looking where they're going.

Thanks Mom, and familiarized isn't spelled with an "s", [snipped].
