“Blue Moon” Photos Requested

We’ve posted several sky photos of a blue orb encircled by other orbs. When we showed one of those photos of this “blue moon” phenomenon to a retired NASA scientist with expertise in optics, he said it couldn’t be dismissed as a camera optical effect.

Photo #15 which was taken on April 5, 2009 with a simple Canon digital camera shows this phenomenon. Now we’re looking for people with more advanced cameras to attempt to get better photos of this phenomenon.

Here is how the “blue moon” photos were taken: On a clear day, the camera was set on zoom and aimed directly at the midday Sun. With the camera held as steady as possible, the photographer took a rapid sequence of at least 10-12 photos. From one moment to the next, the “blue moon” changed in size or in distance from the Sun, but the orbs around it were not usually captured.

If anyone gets a better photo of the “blue moon” encircled with orbs, we would like to post it on this website for others to see. Please make note of the time, date, location and type of camera used. Of course, we will give you full credit (if you wish).

Sky Ship bouquet

Like every skeptic in the world, those of us at Sky Ships over Cashiers would dismiss this photo as a pretty optical bouquet of colors if we didn’t know its history. It was taken on January 12, 2010 by Spuz Shissler who’s been taking midday photos of the Sun from her backyard in Linville Falls, NC since she learned about the “Blue Moon” phenomenon in June 2009.

“On clear days,” she explains, “I’ll snap 12-15 photos in hopes of getting an especially good one of the ‘Blue Moon.’ So far I’ve taken around 250 shots and this is the only one that looks like a rainbow bouquet.”

Shissler has sent a great many of her photos to this website and we’ve never seen the rainbow bouquet before. One is the best we have of orbs encircling the “Blue Moon.”

“So far, this bouquet photo is a one-time thing,” adds Shissler. “It hasn’t appeared in any photos I’ve taken before or since January 12th.”

Rainbow cross turns into orb of light

Becky Rodriguez of Sylva, NC snapped these three photos from her car on January 15, 2010. She was going from Waynesville to Sylva on Highway 74 when she noticed a very unusual rainbow shaped cross in the sky near Balsam Mountain Ridge. Later, when she looked at the photos, there was an orb of light in the cloud to the right of the Sun where the rainbow should have been. The shape made her think it might be a UFO hidden within a camouflage cloud. There are many reports of UFOs hiding within artificially created clouds so this could be an example of that.
