Description:
|
|
|
|
Very few aircraft and/or anomalous lights in the sky were observed the
|
|
night of 18 June 1994. At 9:42 PM I looked directly up and saw several
|
|
bight lights above me. Two of the lights, however, began to move towards
|
|
the south-southwest past another bright star, probably Arcturus of the
|
|
Constellation Bootes. Both lights were about the brightness of stars, and
|
|
a little smaller than Arcturus. One light was ahead of the other and
|
|
closer to Arcturus. I took a time exposure of the more western light
|
|
(furthest from Arcturus) at 9:43:38 (6 seconds). I tool a time exposure
|
|
of the more eastern light (closest to Arcturus) at 9:44:20 (14 seconds).
|
|
As I took the second picture the light closest to Arcturus stopped and
|
|
reversed direction (towards the north-northeast), and passed the second
|
|
light. Then both lights disappeared (dimmed and blinked out).
|
|
|
|
A third light was then noticed to the south near the Moon. It was moving
|
|
southward towards the Moon, which was to the right of its trajectory.
|
|
Another bright star was visible to the left of the moon, probably Antares
|
|
of the Constellation Scorpius. This third moving "star" also dimmed and
|
|
blinked out following the time exposure at 9:44:49 (15 seconds).
|
|
|
|
Arcturus is listed in the Skyguide (Golden Books) as the 4th brightest
|
|
star in the sky. Bootes is described as the son of Jupiter and Callisto.
|
|
Arcturus is called the Watcher of the Bear.
|
|
|
|
Antares is listed as the "rival of Mars," and is the double star named
|
|
from the bright red color of the primary.
|
|
|
|
A recent crop glyph from England is described as the Scorpion. Its
|
|
authenticity is based on it being formed in Rape, a crop with very stiff
|
|
stems that will snap rather than bend at this time of the season. This
|
|
crop was bent: Therefore it was not a hoax. The Scorpion seems to
|
|
portray Jupiter with its four moons and the Shoemaker- Levy 9 "string of
|
|
pearls" on a collision course with Jupiter.
|
|
|
|
Linking Scorpius with the Scorpion is a straight forward deduction, and if
|
|
correct would imply that the "rival of Mars." or another God of War, is
|
|
involved. Linking the reverse movement of the paired lights to Bootes, if
|
|
correct, might symbolize a relation to Arcturus or the "son of Jupiter."
|
|
|
|
In Greek mythology Scorpius is the scorpion that stung Orion to death. In
|
|
earliest Egyptian mythology, Orion marked the resting place of the soul of
|
|
Osiris. Osiris, ithyphallic, is the symbol of regeneration, the cyclic
|
|
nature of the universal process, and the way of successive reincarnations.
|
|
Perhaps all of these symbols and myths, when linked with the
|
|
Shoemaker-Levy 9 Jupiter event in July, indicate that the regenerative
|
|
cycle of mankind will be disrupted or even destroyed. And that implies
|
|
some sort of cataclysmic even impacting Earth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Flames will be ignored. Only serious discussion will be answered.
