Have you ever seen in the sky...

Oh yeah and to give an idea on how many are seen. A LOT lol not just 4 or 5 nothing countable at all. Definitely not countable considering it seems like they zip in and out of the actual air.

Next time you try this, hold out your hand and focus your eyes on your thumb, then use peripheral vision to notice the sparks or tadpole things.  Then move your arm as you continue to focus on the thumb so that the background of the sky moves against your field of vision.  If the images move with your field of vision and don't stay with the background, then it's happening inside your eyes. If they stay fixed to the background and shift in your field of vision then it's something real.

Wilhelm Reich (the orgone guy) noticed this too and thought it was orgone in the sky which he thought he could see. He said they seemed to radiate to/from trees. Try that out, see if they seem clustered around treetops.  He even built this thing called an orgonoscope that looks like a small telescope which you look into and observe the sparks to indicate the level of orgone in whatever you're aiming it at.

Other explanations say these sparks are the white bloodcells coursing through the blood that moves through your retina, each one momentarily triggering a rod or cone and give you the impression of a quick moving squiggly thing. They are not floaters, floaters are something else like particles floating around the fluid that fills your eye and these tend to stick around while the tadpole sparks are fleeting.

There's weird stuff in the sky. One time I was in a park watching the sky, kind of getting into a relaxed state, when I saw this pink airplane appear and continue onward...it was like no airplane I had ever seen...its fuselage was too small to hold passengers and its wings were huge and triangular instead of backswept, looked more like some cross between a dragon fly and manta ray and it was uniformly pink in color. I watched for about twenty seconds before glancing elsewhere in the sky for similar things and when I looked back a second later it was gone.  I wasn't hallucinating, and regular planes big enough to see don't just disappear directly overhead.

So I bet if you watch the sky enough and just let your eyes "go" you can start to see some genuine things up there that are in no way artifacts of the eye.

Something else I regular see is during night when the room is dimly lit and I suddenly open my eyes, then a dark spot appears in the center of my vision that quickly fades away.  A few months ago I finally figured out what this was -- rods sense darkness and light very quickly, cones sense color but turn on more slowly and are concentrated heavily in the center of the retina. So when I opened my eyes very quickly, the rods activated right away but the cones were lagging behind so a temporary darkspot appeared in the center of my vision.

Once you figure out all the possible tricks the eyes can play and how to spot them, then you can make legitimate observations about what's really happening out there.

Hi E3mpirical1,

Haven't seen this sort of thing, but I think I'll go out one night and try this, maybe tonight, and see what happens.

Something I have seen inside which was very trippy was the white laser lines.  Has anybody else here seen these?   It took me getting buzzed on wine one night while lounging on my bed in a relaxed state before I noticed them. (back in 2000)  They look like thin white laser lines for lack of a better description, shooting down from the ceiling, then moving over to the side.   Down...side....down....side.   At first I thought I was imagining them and that it was a by-product of drunkeness.     In a way it was a by-product....a by-product of being relaxed enough from the alcohol to be able to finally notice something I wouldn't have otherwise.   As time wore on they grew stronger and stronger - more of them, brighter white, and shooting down at a faster speed - and visible round the clock including broad daylight;  they soon grew in number so that they would nearly fill the room at times, appearing in a 3 dimensional way, so that I could sit on the edge of my bed for instance and be completely surrounded by them, seeing them all around me and passing through my body; and they were visible to my cat of course.  I realized that they seemed benign (at least in comarison to the other paranormal stuff that was going on) so I'd just ignore them uneasily and be on my computer, glancing over my shoulder occasionally to look at them and see if they were still there.    They were.    They were my great mystery for years, trying to get to the bottom of what they were.   I don't have this phenomenon anymore where I currently live, but I take that as a good sign.

I've seen what Brad462 describes- the patches of cable tv looking snowy white static things.  That's what portals look like, at least, one version that I've personally seen.   I don't have the best 3rd eye sight for seeing these but the times I have seen them they were just *barely* visible to me, and looked like faint snowy static blobs.   They were situated exactly in positions where there happened to be portals, or "doorways" I guess you could call them, in the apartment.   One night in the middle of the night I woke up suddenly and found one hovering very clearly and visibly in mid air next to my closet.  This one was a beautiful blue green color.  Roughly rectangular shaped and about 14 or 15 inches wide.  This sparkly, snowy blue green staticy looking patch in the air.   I was transfixed.

About these tadpole looking things at night....I'm wondering if maybe these things are always there in our space but only become visible at night, when we're relaxing our eyes.  At any rate I'm going to go out tonight and see if I can get a glimpse of anything...

(ps edit....in writing this and thinking of E2mpirical1's sky tadpoles, and thinking back on the numerous and very abundant paranormal experiences I went through for one year back in 2000 - 2001, I have to smile and wonder how these entities and paranormal phenomenon look in their own realms, using their own "sight."  The way we see things here in our realm / dimension, with our human eyes has got to be so different.  And conversly...how do we look to them??    )

Lyra -
                   Yea I;ve read about those white lines on the astralpulse forums. I don't know what they are but it's usually something people see when they try and astral project, obviously due to being in a very relaxed state. I've read that when you see those lines you're in a pretty deep meditative state. I've seen them myself while lying in bed a couple times. I got a little freaked out b/c I wasn't in the mood to see anything else paranormal i just wanted to go to sleep lol.

                    Yeah, Brad462 had a better way of describing them, the little white things as static from a tv. That's exactly how my friend described them too, I guess that is a better description. BTW it's during the day that I can see them usually against, as someone said before, a blue sky. I don't know if they're only around portals I guess because I can usually see them anywhere while looking at the sky on a nice day. But last friday when I saw them is when i also noticed the portal looking thing. It looked like the special effects from the bullets flying throuhg the air in the matrix that wavy 'look'. It just looked like a bunch of those waves constantly overlapping each other rushing toward a 'center'.
