gnomes Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 I was outside tonight, I was looking at the stars, I was looking at two stars that I thought were part of the southern cross constalation. But couldn't see the third star that would make it that particular constellation. As I looked one just went like someone turned the light off, I was quiet shocked. Then the second one disappeared the same way. Is this possible? They were bright stars. Ansewers anyone??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blamski Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 here's a few possibilities - a cloud came over- you looked at them with your blind spot in your eye- an airplane passed in front- they weren't stars but UFOs- they were stars but were destroyed in a huge galactic war several thousand light years away- atmospheric haze or pollution obscured them- a planet passed in front of them- atmospheric refraction give us a few more details about the time, conditions and azimuth of the stars and maybe someone can whittle the list down a bit.
