Nana's are Beautiful
A few nights ago I went to bed around 3 am. We have an AC unit in the bedroom window and have the blinds up over the unit about an inch so the air flows freely. My side of the bed faces this window, the window is on the west wall. I lay down and I've got this bright light in my eyes. So I think "oh, great when did they put in a street light there??" (there would be the neighbor on the corner, probably on the alley across the street kitty corner from us. I lay there a minute or two and am really getting annoyed because it IS bright and I look at it and think "wait a minute, there would be no street light there." So I get up and go to the window. It's the moon (well I *think* it was the moon) and it's huge and bright orange and full. And I'm like wow it's even bigger than the night it was supposed to have been so close to the earth as to be "huge" in the sky! And I go lay back down. In the meantime husband had gotten up to go to the bathroom, he smokes in the bathroom.......and so it takes him about 15 min or so. I'm laying there.....by the time husband comes back up stairs it has dropped down behind the neighbor across the street's garage and is no longer bothering my eyes. At the time I did note that I've never known the moon to move across the sky that fast.
Last night (wed night, it's almost 2am here) I went to bed around the same time. Again with the light in my eyes, again I get up and look. The "moon" is huge ( I swear I've never seen it this big in my life) it's bright orange and full as can be. And I think wow it almost looks like the sun (as large as the sun is in the sky actually) when there is a thin layer of clouds in front of it letting you actually see it's outline. I watched and waited and again it descended quickly out of sight.
Now I asked easy child after the first time if she'd noticed anything odd about the moon because they'd been at the drive in until around 2am, which is why I'd been up. (to let Travis in) She said no, it looked the same to her. I asked if it had been a full moon. She said no only about a three quarter full moon. okkkk. hmm
So tonight earlier I went out and took a good look at the moon. Looks normal. Not bright orange. Not as large as the sun. I'm going to go to bed about the same time that it happened the last two times and see if what I saw before is in the sky.
This is really weird. I've looked at the moon a zillion times over the years. I happen to like looking at the moon.......and I've been able to see it from my bedroom window for 7 yrs. I know about the speed it travels across the night sky and it certainly doesn't normally take it 15 mins to drop from the position I first spotted it in to behind the neighbors garage.....it would normally be about 2 hrs because it was fairly high up to begin with.
If it had happened once I'd just figure it was a fluke and shrug it off. But it's been twice. Last night we didn't have the AC on. If it was something other than the moon it certainly didn't make a sound. But I haven't the vaguest idea what else it could've been.
Anyone else out there seeing enormous orange moons in the sky? I went out and looked the night it was supposed to be at it's closest point to the earth in however long......this appeared to be much bigger than that and much much brighter, and well ORANGE.
I swear I'm not crazy. lol
