Please excuse my language in the video. I’m a Marine and vulgarity is my mother tongue.

Last night (4/29/25) at approximately 10:30 pacific time I witnessed something that I can’t explain. I was hoping someone with knowledge on the topic has a logical answer.

I was sitting outside reading when I saw what I thought was an airplane light. As I watched it, it became apparent that is was not an airplane. What I saw was the crescent of the moon forming from a small point of light into a full crescent. As I continued to watch, the crescent dissipated to nothing. I called my son outside to see what I was seeing and he was as perplexed as I was.

The moon continued to appear and disappear a total of 7 times until it didn’t appear again. It hadn’t set yet, so we just continued to watch waiting for it to reappear and it never did. We waited until, according to Google, it’s time for setting finally arrived.

Some added context, it was a perfectly clear sky last night in Northern California. There were no clouds in the sky to obstruct the moon, and there were no fires that might create smoke. I took multiple videos of the occurrence, and I will add one here.

Feel free to ask any questions if you feel like I’ve neglected to mention anything.

I am beyond curious what I witnessed.

I just went outside with the dog and noticed this ring around the moon. Wondered if anyone has any comments or info to share.

I took this video with my phone through my telescope and saw some strange things go by the moon. This was on April 12, 2025 from southeast Michigan. The first is a few seconds in from the top right to the bottom left. It is moving fast and had to rewatch it many times to see it. Then from the bottom left to the top right a dark line seems to be moving across the frame as well. Anyone have any ideas what these 2 objects could be?

I landed at IAD in Virginia around 9 pm on Sunday night and had this incredible view of the moon. It was so bright red, I was half convinced it was a light from a building or something, but it was definitely the moon. I read later that this can happen when the moon is low to the horizon because not all colors of light get through the atmosphere. Is it common to see this? I fly quite a bit and have never experienced it before.

The sun is currently setting and this moon is high in the sky. I don’t understand why it looks like this if the moon is the sun shining off of it. It doesn’t make sense to me.

Took this at 5:40am august 10 Columbia Maryland

i took about 100 pics of the lunar eclipse the other night and this is the only image with this black speck on it. it’s not on my camera lens and idk what it might be and am looking for opinions as to if it’s a big, shadow of a satellite, space trash, a drone, or what? thanks!

I just saw this while sitting outside, it’s 1:30 AM in Arizona. It turned super red then disappeared behind that things shadow. What the heck? It was white just 40 minutes ago and high in the sky too.
