Also, last night something weird was going on. It was almost 1am and a storm had begun to come through an hour or so earlier, with a little thunder, a lot of lightning, and next to no rain, at least not directly over me.
I started to hear what sounded like a helicopter, and it was so strange because not only did it sound huge, way bigger than a helicopter should be, but it sounded so close while at the same time was muffled and had a "far away" sound.
Think of the sine wave pulses a helicopter makes, but it was slower at roughly 3-4 beats per second is what the frequency was, and lasted a good 20 seconds or more, much longer than thunder should on its own.
So I stepped outside, joking to myself that it wouldn't phase me one bit to see a giant mothership hovering above. Seemed appropriate given the recent session. However, it turned out to be "just" the thunder, but I've only heard this effect one other time in my life and it was only a few years ago. I think something is going on in the atmosphere or wherever these things take place, that is causing interference of some sort to make the thunder roll on these waves like that. It's like something was slowing down the speed at which the sound should travel, or it was being truncated along the way to produce that sine wave effect.
Now all sounds are waves, with sine, square, triangle, sawtooth, and pulse being the primary five, but there are others that are more multi-dimensional and aren't really applicable here, and the fact I'm describing it as "travelling on a wave" I am not correlating with the C's Wave, rather these are just the ways you describe things when you study sound.
Now that alone would have just been weird enough, but I looked, or rather was drawn to, a huge light in the sky off to the west. So I took two pictures, the first is with Night Shot on, so it had a longer exposure, but the second is with the plain camera, and I have not edited in any way either picture, no brightness or contrast increase, nothing.
Something was going on in the sky last night, and while I'm wholly prepared for a mundane explanation, I also just don't know what to think.
Here are the two pictures, and remember this was 1am with storm clouds and lightning still covering above, but this light was just a constant glow
