Emergency!

Lol! Curious yes, desperate not! :cheers: ---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 AM ---------- That's the plan. I'm posting here for feedback, advice and general banter. :hailprobe:

True! :tiphat:

Lol! Well the Pope has been dialing up the ISS. Do you think the observation I made in the same space of nebulous type activity approx 24 hours later would rule in or out any Earth bound science or activity?

Thanks for the tip! :thumbup:

You are right GRB 090429B happened in 2009. Lol! I understand your skepticism about my observations. I have lived in the countryside with the night skies and the stars all my life and I too have never seen anything like I saw on the nights I observed these activities. Nothing in the textbooks...

I wonder was this what I saw? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-13539914 BTW times and dates mentioned above are in BST.

Pre Supernova 2011by observations might be a bit presumptuous. On analysis NGC3972 is too high in the sky. On the nights what I saw was definitely below Alkaid.

No problem. Understand I am just reporting what I saw. If you choose to believe it or not that is your own choice. I am very happy I had the opportunity to witness a massive interstellar event personally, capturing what was a very powerful and very rare event with the naked eye makes for a very...

I should point out specifically - With my naked eye I saw massive interstellar activities that led up to this Supernova, not the Supernova as it is now.

OK. Is there any public or private instrument or sensor array (Northern Hemisphere) which would of registered what I saw? IMO it is well worth validating and retrieving. Apologies for the thread hijack.

What I did see was in this region and it was massive. I've lived under the stars most of my life and I have never seen light like it before. The flash with a black center was quite eerie and the pink flickering light associated with my second observation was very nebulous. Are there any records...

I saw this with the naked eye on April the 22nd. http://forum.skyatnightmagazine.com/tm.asp?m=124152 It was a very impressive flash!
