I agree that a lantern is a strong possibility. I think there is a change of direction though, as it does appear almost stationary relative to the lights on the horizon at first, before moving increasingly rapidly to the left. Possibly encountering a different wind direction or stronger wind as...

And I see somebody else has already done a better job of stabilising the video, showing the same thing (from Reddit comments) Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym8csRZ9JNo However, the stabilisation is off around the 9-10 second mark, where the phone is moved rapidly, making it appear...

Up to about 28 seconds it is hardly moving in relation to the distant lights (it stays more or less above the highest of those lights). Then it moves quite rapidly to the left. Consistent with a plane heading towards the camera and then turning to the right. This is a very rough and ready...

It doesn't look like internal reflection to me. The movement doesn't seem right for that.

At the risk of straying off topic, I used to scrub with a wash cloth (or flannel as we call them over here), but then I read something (probably on the internet :rolleyes:) about how doing so was terrible and removed the protective oils of the skin and produced microabrasions and let horrible...

It's not a "glitch", it's a physical wobble. The car, and the camera attached to it, moves due to a vibration or impact of some sort, so the image of the Earth moves. The video claims that it is suspicious that the Earth moves but the car doesn't. A moment's thought shows that that makes no...

It's from a book called "The Greatest Lie on Earth: Proof That Our World Is Not a Moving Globe" by Edward Hendrie. Google Books link here.

Yesterday’s sunset, with quite a striking contrail. As ever, the phone camera doesn’t reproduce sunset colours very well.

Here's some background to another bit of juvenile "sky art" over Washington state in 2017: https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2019/05/14/the-navys-probe-into-sky-penis/ It prompted viral guffaws from some and online outrage from others. There are shot glasses commemorating the event and...

Nice! Very vivid supernumerary bands.

I don’t think it’s anything bouncing. I think it’s people playing catch with a larger ball, standing somewhere over the ridge so they are hidden from view.

Or maybe more like this (or something similar) - if the ball followed the red line then it ought to be visible in the third photo, but it isn't.

Actually if the timings in the EXIF data are correct, they are three discrete bursts. The first two pictures are separated by 0.12 seconds, then there is a gap of 1.14 seconds, before the next two photos which are separated by 0.11 seconds. Then another 1.42 seconds before the final image...

You have links about 5G, and you have a link about tree felling, but nowhere do you provide evidence of any kind of connection between the two. The graphic you posted also shows buildings blocking signal, so you might as well suggest that there are plans to knock down buildings beside railway...

To be pedantic, however far away you are you're always seeing the "curve of the horizon", but that gets closer and closer to seeing the perimeter of the whole globe. From a related thread: So, from an aircraft at 40,000ft (7.5 miles), the fraction of the Earth visible is: f = 7.5 (2 x...

Not a cloud book, but I'm reading the diaries of the politician Alan Clark (1928-1999), and this entry from summer 1983 caught my eye: Google Books link Clearly describing persistent spreading contrails over southern England.

It's essentially the same as what was posted in post number 12. Guidance that identifies obstacles that can block signals but are too small and/or not permanent enough to appear on large-scale mapping, and so must be additionally taken into account when planning 5G coverage, and added to maps if...

Nobody disputes that trees block 5G signals - just about any physical obstacle, including the walls of your house itself, will block the signals. What is being disputed is that trees are being cut down because of this. No councils that I am aware of have any policy of removing street trees...

Interesting contrail behaviour from the Hornet, too.

I just had a look at the Strava Global Heatmap, which visualises the tracks saved by people using the Strava exercise tracking app. With "cycling" selected, you can see there seems to be a fairly popular mountain-biking circuit in those woods to the right of the screenshot above:
