Watch the skies and land and oceans

A series of high-altitude luminous phenomena believed to be gigantic jets have appeared. This video shows the phenomena that appeared between 2:00 and 4:00 a.m. on 26 June 2025 (played at 0.5x speed). More than 20 appeared in a single night. This is the first time that so many gigantic jets have been captured in a single night, rather than the usual sprites.

Another interesting post from same account
There are repeated occurrences of high-altitude luminous phenomena resembling giant jets, which are not normal sprites. What on earth is happening?

I suppose it's not surprising that people ask these kinds of questions, given the concerns about airplane contrails or recent phenomena associated with rockets.
DID SPACEX MAKE THESE NOCTILUCENT CLOUDS? Maybe it's just a coincidence. Shortly after midnight on June 24th, people in Europe watched a rocket glide silently overhead. A few hours later, noctilucent clouds (NLCs) filled the sky.

"It was incredible," reports Stanislaw Rokita from Torun, Poland, the hometown of Copernicus. "Silver filaments spread over almost half the horizon and rose all the way to the zenith."

Similar displays were seen in Berlin, Paris and other European cities.​
NLCs are a natural phenomenon. They form when summertime wisps of water vapor rise up to the mesosphere (83 km high) and frost specks of meteor smoke. We see them every year during weeks around the summer solstice. This, however, was an unusually bright and widespread display.

Some onlookers wondered if the rocket had anything to do with it. The rocket was SpaceX's Transporter-14 mission, launched the previous evening from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base. Onboard were 70 payloads, including cremated human remains and small surveillance satellites. A fuel dump from the rocket's second stage was widely observed only a few hours before the NLCs appeared.

This picture from Nicolas Rossetto of Jura, France, shows the rocket (inset) trailed by a cloud of discarded propellant:

This was about 15 minutes past midnight," says Rossetto.

Could Transporter-14 be responsible for the NLCs? Theoretically, yes. Studies show that space traffic does indeed amplify noctilucent clouds. Rocket engines emit water vapor--a key ingredient of NLCs. Moreover, a video of the Transporter-14 launch shows the second stage engine burning through the mesosphere and spewing water exactly where NLCs form.

But there's a problem with this idea. The burn happened over the coast of California, not Europe. To make morning clouds over Paris and Berlin, the water vapor would need to travel 10,000 km in less than 6 hours--*very* unlikely.

The display was probably natural. If so, more NLCs could be in the offing--no rockets required.

Earliest report of ball lightning in England discovered
1751660988496.png
...
Emeritus physicist Emeritus Professor Brian Tanner and historian Professor Giles Gasper, made the connection to a ball lightning event while exploring a medieval text written some 750 years ago.

The account, by the 12th century Benedictine monk Gervase of Christ Church Cathedral Priory, Canterbury, pre-dates the previous earliest known description of ball lightning recorded in England by nearly 450 years.

A fiery globe

In his Chronicle, composed around 1200, Gervase stated that “a marvellous sign descended near London” on 7 June 1195.

He went on to describe a dense and dark cloud, emitting a white substance which grew into a spherical shape under the cloud, from which a fiery globe fell towards the river.

The Durham researchers compared the text in Gervase’s Chronicle with historical and modern reports of ball lightning.

Prior to Gervase’s account, the earliest report of ball lightning from England is during a great thunderstorm in Widecombe, Devon on 21 October 1638.

These couple of experiments are quite interesting, I really thought the paper would be burnt.

IPP experiments which resemble ball lightning
Glowing balls of plasma are created above a water surface at IPP. They closely resemble typical descriptions of ball lightning.

The numerous accounts of ball lightning – in the past three centuries there have been over 2,000 reports – are contradictory: Observations describe mostly yellowish to reddish balls of up to 20 centimetres in diameter. Their appearance is often attributed to a lightning strike during a thunderstorm. They last for seconds to minutes and vanish quietly or with a bang. They move slowly, sometimes silently, sometimes with a hiss, but also come to a standstill and are alleged to penetrate walls.

Direct measurements are lacking; the photos available might also be showing comets, meteors or fireworks. Attempts at explanation give electric and magnetic fields or chemical energy a key role. There has also been talk of magnetic stimulation of the brain or the retina. In 2014 Chinese scientists engaged in the investigation of lightning during thunderstorms happend to accidentally observe a phenomenon that resembled the descriptions of ball lightning.

Attempts at explanation assign a key role to electric and magnetic fields or chemical energy. There has also been talk of magnetic stimulation of the brain or the retina. Laboratory investigations world-wide claim, for example, microwave discharges, electric arcs or electric discharges in water as cause.


The ball lightning experiment at IPP

At IPP in Garching globular objects – called plasmoids – are created above a water surface by an electrical discharge. The experiment is based on a Russian concept that was scientifically continued at IPP's former Berlin laboratory, where methods of plasma diagnostics were employed. In the end of 2009 the setup was moved to IPP Garching and redesigned. The investigations now focus on the plasma-chemical processes that probably serve as the energy source of the plasmoid and thus determine its life time.

The experimental setup consists of a water filled bucket made of acrylic glass in which two electrodes are mounted: one copper electrode on the bottom and a thick wire – the central electrode – at the water surface. Around the central electrode a ceramic sleeve searates a small reservoir of water from the rest of the water. By operating a switch a high voltage of up to 4.8 kilovolt can be applied between the electrodes. The voltage comes from a capacitor bank that is charged by a high voltage supply.

When the switch is activated, a strong electric current of 50 to 130 amperes passes through the water for about 150 milliseconds: Above the central electrode a luminescent plasma ball rises from the water surface and lasts for about 0.5 second. Closer analysis reveals that of the 10 liters of water in the bucket approximately 10 milligrams are vaporized and ionized. The plasmiod carries an energy of about 4 kilojoule. The lifetime depends strongly on the amount of energy.

The observation with a high-speed camera shows the initial formation of a surface discharge with filament-like structures before the plasmoid attains its spherical shape. Owing to the plasma's temperature of about 4000 Kelvin this develops into a mushroom-shaped structure, typical of an ascending hot gas. The temperature is also sufficient to produce an intense glow by exciting the atoms and molecules of the water and minerals contained in it. Hence, color and intensity of the glow can be modified by adding different salts to the water.


 
Bees Delay Surat-Jaipur IndiGo Flight. Fliers Wait As Fire Engine Called In

The situation led to frenzied scenes as airport staff wondered how to disperse the bees

New Delhi:
In a bizarre incident, an IndiGo flight from Surat to Jaipur was delayed by over an hour as a swarm of bees sat near the aircraft's open luggage door. The Airbus A320 aircraft, which was scheduled to take off from Surat at 4.20 pm, eventually left at 5.26 pm -- a one-hour delay in an hour-long flight.

According to the information received so far, all passengers had boarded the flight and their luggage was being loaded onto the aircraft when the swarm of bees decided to take a break from flying and sat on the open luggage door.

The situation led to frenzied scenes as airport staff wondered how to deboard the ticketless fliers. Initially, smoke was used to disperse the bees, but when this failed, the fire department was alerted. A fire engine reached the runway and started spraying water on the luggage door. The persistent bees finally gave up and left their hangout spot, and the flight took off after an hour's delay.
 
The day of the deceleration of the earth

Since 2020 the rotation of the Earth has accelerated, causing shorter days, this is what Graham Jones, an astrophysicist at the University of London and science popularizer of timeanddate, claims, although he has not come to know the primary cause has concluded that now, in 2025, has reached a time when the record for the shortest day. Graham Jones, has predicted the next shortest day on three possible dates: July 9, July 22 or August 5, 2025.
(...)
Earth rotates on its axis and completes a full rotation in exactly 86,400 seconds; in other words, its length is 24 hours. A change of a millisecond (ms) is 0.001 seconds less than a blink of an eye, which lasts around 100 milliseconds.
During the 1950s, atomic clocks came into existence, measuring tiny day-to-day variations in Earth’s spin speed. The number of milliseconds above or below 86,400 seconds is known as length of day (LOD).

Until 2020, when our planet was rotating slower and slower. The shortest LOD (
Length of Day) ever recorded by atomic clocks was -1.05 ms, which signified that Earth completed one rotation with respect to the Sun in 1.05 milliseconds less than 86,400 seconds.

From that point there was no looking back, as the Earth kept on gaining speed and broke this old record every year by approximately half a millisecond. The shortest day of all was -1.66 ms on July 5, 2024. Earth is likely to get close to this again in 2025 around July 9, July 22, and August 5 with predicted LOD on these three days is predicted to be -1.30 ms, -1.38 ms and -1.51 ms respectively.

Scientists still struggle to give a concrete explanation for this, but the predicted dates for 2025 do coincide with the times when the Moon’s orbit places it at its furthest point from Earth’s equator, and this has an impact on our planet.
Several studies have suggested that the Moon has been slowing Earth’s rotation for billions of years. The gravitational pull of the Moon impacts the Earth’s angular momentum, hence controlling the variations in the LOD. Notably, long-term variations in the spin speed of our planet are also likely affected by other factors, including the complex motion of Earth’s core, oceans, and atmosphere.
The sessions have mentioned planetary spin relantization, the electric universe theory and the earth as a centrifuge driven by external energy (solar and companion star) and internal atmospheric influences:

Session 4 March 2012
(Perceval) What would slow something down?

(L) Why would electricity, or a current grounding through a spinning magnet, slow things down?

(Ark) How much is it slowing down?

(L) Venus slowed down. It was significant. They were shocked because it was so off.

(Andromeda) Wasn't there something about Sirius?

(L) Yeah, like some people were doing observations and their instruments were trained on Sirius, and every time its companion moved in front of it and between Sirius and earth, the earth's rotation slowed down, and when the companion had passed, earth sped up again. So then when the companion star of our sun lines up, it would have a greater effect {one would think}.

(Belibaste) Maybe, a rotating body is negatively charged, and the space around it is positively charged. It's like a motor, with a rotor and a stator. If the sun activity reduces the charge of the surrounding space, that is, the stator drops, then the rotor, i.e. the planet, turns slower. The companion star could have discharged the sun massively…

(L) Well, if electricity in the solar system is increasing {which we don’t know is the case, it could be decreasing as you say}, why is our magnetic field decreasing? We have these several problems all at the same time. The slowing rotation of the planets, the heating of the planets, we have the opening up of our planet making all kinds of weird things like sink-holes and trees falling down and weird sounds and earthquakes and volcanoes going off all over the place, mud erupting out in Indonesia or Malaysia or wherever the heck it is. All this stuff is going on, and we don't have a theory that deals with these phenomena!

(Perceval returning to the room) 6.5 minutes.

(L) Venus's day slowed down 6.5 minutes. That's a lot. [wind noise... ] So, anyway, my thought is what if our companion star, assuming we have one, approaches and there is an arc-like discharge? What if that's what happened to Mars? What if that happened at one time in the past to the planet that is now the asteroid belt?
(Belibaste) I guess it will depend on the location of the planets in relation to the two stars. If you're in between or not far from the arc, it will follow the path of least electrical resistance.

(L) If you're a person and you're standing there, and you've got the kite in the air and your feet on the ground, you're in the middle, lightning strikes, and it's frying time!
(Burma Jones) Which may explain Mars and the positive and negative effects noted in the “Alien Sky” video.[windy!]

(L) When you look at the laws that show how the planets are distributed and Venus happens to be where it is because it sort of kind of belongs there, and the asteroid belt is there because another planet that really ought to be bigger belonged there, and so there's some instability in the solar system... And all these processes take place over millions of years…

(Belibaste) And when you see how a comet which is not a huge astral body can lead to these discharges in the solar system and produce major climatic change on planets, a body like the companion to our sun... it can trigger massive discharges.

(Ark) But I want to point out that there is an evident contradiction between what electric universe people say about pulsars and what Cs said about pulsars. Cs evidently used the term "neutron stars" and electric universe people are laughing about neutron stars.

(L) But they said neutron "star"... So was it really a star is the question?

(Ark) No, the electric universe people are laughing at the concept of neutronium.
(L) Yeah. So, in any event, are we moving... I guess my question is: Is my idea about this discharge between our sun and its companion going in the right direction?

A: Yes.


Q: (L) But it obviously needs more work.

A: Yes.

Q: (Ark) Is it electric or something else?

A: Electric!


Q: (L) Is the sun, or the star, just like a large-scale manifestation of ball lightning?

A: Close.

Q: (L) But obviously, it has mass.

A: Yes.

Q: (L) Okay, so something to work on. Well, ya know they're like light bulbs because when you're reading Victor Clube and he's talking about some of the observations of solar system formations that they've been able to do with the telescopes like Hubble, that when these nebular disks start forming and very young stars have double streamers that come out of them. They're like electric currents, like coming out of the north pole and a south pole. So, there's a lot of interesting stuff that's in there that kind of fits in, and I guess what we're looking at... Maybe we'll have a gradual charge, a slow charge, or a big flash. I dunno.
(Ailen) But did they answer your question about the slowing down though?
(L) What is the cause of this slowing down?

A: Slowing down was well enough explained by Pierrrr.

Q: (L) Do you mean Belibaste?

A: Yes

Q: (Ark) Perratt! (L) What's Perratt? (Ark) Perratt is this plasma guy. (L) Oh!

A: Both!


Q: (L) So they're talking about Belibaste and Perratt. Why is the electromagnetic field weakening?

A: Spinning is slowing!


Q: (L) So the electromagnetic field of the earth is a property of its spinning? And it's spinning is a property of... can be affected by electric stuff.
(Belibaste) Yeah, like a motor, if it slows down, it generates less electromagnetic field.
(Perceval) Getting ready for a flip.
(L) Okay, we have a question that Psyche and I have been thinking about. After reading this book about viruses, we have the idea that viruses may be the means by which genetic manipulation {as in intentional coming from other densities} has taken place on this planet for millions, if not billions, of years.
 

San Vito di Cadore: new collapse from Croda Marcora
No problem for Germany: the landslide did not reach State Road 51.

Another landslide from Croda Marcora in San Vito di Cadore this morning, Friday, August 8, at 9:38 a.m. Only a few cubic meters, but the usual cloud of dust appeared, which remained stationary around the gym. “Most likely, it is a portion of rocks and stones that are part of the 10,000 cubic meters that remained at the summit,” explains the mayor of San Vito, Franco De Bon, “after the detachments that occurred in June.”

Powerful lightning strike in Mexico City. It was detected by seismographs throughout much of the city. This is how it appeared on my seismograph in Miguel Hidalgo.

And no, it's not a microseismic event. This is easily identifiable given that the signal dominates medium and high frequencies, but the “shaking” it generates detects it.


This is how today's #electricalstorm looked from @webcamsdemexico.

Lightning and thunder caused buildings in Mexico City to shake, and@SkyAlertMx even warned of a #microearthquake with its epicenter in Las Aguilas, in the @AlcaldiaAO.

It later clarified that there was no such
 
Yesterday a strange green light was reported on the border of Paraguay and Argentina:

1000020354.jpg

There was a solar storm at that time, but the location is too far North in the subtropics. Maybe the South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly (basically a hole) over that part of South America left through more of the solar wind.

Other possible explanations could be a meteor (though the green light seems unusual for those) or maybe an unusual lightning or sprite phenomenon. It seems to have lasted long enough to be photographed, even though the article calls it a "light flash".

 
This gave me a laugh, here I’ll finish the sentence.
“Expect more of this kind of thing[…]due to an increase of protons coming from the Cosmos!

Just this morning I read about the latest “discovery” that lightening originates from the cosmos.
From the article:
[…]
“Scientists appear to have found the final puzzle pieces to unravel the mystery behind how lightning strikes occur.
For a spark of electricity to jump through the air from one point to another, the electric field between those two points needs to exceed air’s breakdown voltage. That’s at least 3,000 volts for every millimetre of distance the lightning will cross. So, for a bolt of lightning to jump the distance of just one kilometre, the electric field would need to exceed 3 billion volts, or a thousand times stronger than what the most powerful thunderstorm can produce.

So, how do we see millions of bolts of lightning every day? Apparently, the storms get help from the cosmos.“
A cosmic ray is usually a proton, or more specifically, the nucleus of a hydrogen atom. They originate from the Sun, other stars in our galaxy and beyond, as well as more extreme features of the universe, like supernovae and black holes. Travelling at immense speeds, trillions of these particles flow past Earth every day.

When a cosmic ray plunges into the top of the planet’s atmosphere, it smacks into an atom of oxygen or nitrogen in the air, resulting in one or more of the atom’s electrons being ejected at high speed. The overall effect is an avalanche of high-energy electrons cascading down towards the ground.“
Here’s a cool picture illustrating the action :
