ATS search showed me no results, someone alerted me to the fact already posted. How do I prevent th

Sometimes when I'm bored, I'll look at Youtube for unusual videos, like I did last night. I'm pretty sure I know what this is not, it's not Jupiter, if it were Jupiter, we'd either be able to see it ourselves or their would be at least one mention of this in the Main Stream Media, that I know. Could it be an unusual rainbow? I've never seen one like this but the way things are with the weather, I guess anything could be possible. Rainbow, Photshop effect, Reflective Light off the Lense,. What do you think?

The moon or the sun I forget which, and posted before. The light is behind the camera, better explanation in this thread. It's cool.

I did do a search here on ATS to find out if it had been posted, it showed me no results. Sorry about that

No worries, it happens. I only know because I saw the thread in question at the time it was posted. Some things do stick in my memory, mainly ATS threads. To find it again, and possibly as a tip for you, all I did was search using the video title, "This is not a rainbow". It was in the first 3 results, possibly hit number one.

The search function here is kind of useless. As are the posters that dump the one liners to use the search function.

Try copying the first entire line from the txt of a news article. That way the tampering or false titles people give topics will be disregarded in search.

You could also try it for the youtubes if there is a description and search in youtube to see how many copies and what the different titles for the same clip are.

This is a "rainbow" It's just not displaying the full spectrum. You can hear as the cars go by the street sounds wet also everything is shiney and glossy form the rain. The flashes in the right a left corners are from distant lightning. The storm is move away as you can see the sky is blue close to the videographer and dark on the far side of the rainbow.

I read the comments on the youtube posters page. He is convinced that this is something extrordinary. I left a comment and waitng for his approval before it is allowed to be posted.
We'll see how open-minded he is.

It happens. Don't worry about it too much. Even after some years here and having read wayyyy too many threads, I still sometimes can't find ones I want to check back on but forgot to bookmark. The same applies to your particular problem in this case, namely searching for a subject and checking for exisiting threads.

However, I've found it's helpful to check the live headlines page here. If something is pretty new you'll often see a thread (or two or three!) on this page.

With older material, I'd go along with what another member suggested. Find a news article for the story and copy and paste a small chunk of a sentence into search. I've often found this works and it'll turn up threads with vastly different titles but which all refer to the exactly the same event. (Especially as a lot of news articles are almost identical in the main text as they come from one original source.)

If the original thread is pretty old -- maybe with a last post several months or even a year or more ago -- there's usually no harm in starting a new thread if you have something to add to the subject that could be of interest to members. And if it's the same topic as an exisiting thread but you're looking at an entirely different angle, quite often there'll be no hassle with that. If in doubt just check with a mod.

Best regards,

Mike

When he finally figures out Jupiter isn't crashing into the Earth maybe he'll be more openminded to people's comments. Some people just don't have any common sense any more, seems most of the ones who do are on this site, though luckily.

Baffled as to why anyone would jump to the conclusion it was Jupiter in the first place.
Cool sight though.

I thought it was cool too. Why he thought what he did we'll probably never know. Maybe he's been watching to many of the disaster films Syfy keeps showing.
The one about the planet Mercury crashing into Earth comes to mind. I never saw that one, just remember reading the description.
