InternetAgeTraveler Posted September 18, 2010 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I've been doing Alaska time lapse captures all summer, this morning I saw the oddest thing. I know there is a good explanation but I must admit it's pretty weird. I know they aren't what it looks like... The images below are part of a sequence of images of some "strange" lights last night over the harbor at Skagway. To see as a video, you can go here but these stills give you an idea of what I am talking about (and for those that might I ask, no editing has been done to them). Normal night sky Something odd appears and then moves across the sky and again and for comparison, the harbor in the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hexdragon Posted September 21, 2010 #7 Share Posted September 21, 2010 If you notice that where the light is just happens to be the edge of the montain. The light was coming from behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InternetAgeTraveler Posted September 22, 2010 Author #8 Share Posted September 22, 2010 It looks like the moon peaking over the hill Yes, you are right. It had us confused since it really doesn't look like the moon in any of the pictures. Your mind can play tricks on you. Although, looking out at the full moon tonight made me start thinking the same thing and I also found the same thing a couple of nights in a row... And then I found this picture which really made it apparent since it was shining throug the clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
