ATTN: Go outside and look at the moon

[mobobuff]

I walked outside about 20 minutes ago, and looked up at the full moon. There is a very large, perfectly symmetrical ring around it. It's very odd looking and I've never seen anything like it. It's not spectacular, it just looks strange. I'm in Michigan, any other Michiganders around to take a peak?

I'll have pictures uploaded soon...

Al-Qaeda has set up a training base on the moon!!!

Going out right now to take another look, was out an hour ago didn't see anything. But I'll look again at the thang.

Edit: Just looks like a little eery glow, kinda seems like clouds almost? (I'm in Michigan too)

Looks like cheese. Nothing else.

A little too cloudy to see the moon tonight.

God damn Covenant, they never learn.

 

[Slacker]

Farmers Moon, or Harvest Moon.

Thanks! I thought this might be something easily explainable but I figured I'd post about it.

For what it's worth, here's the picture I took. I couldn't even get the entire ring into the shot.

They went as far south as Georgia I believe.

I would love to see them again. My sky here was a freaky shade of undulating green.

I think there may be some pics kicking around the web from that night.

check out these pics from Nov 7 2004:
