An open record of things people cannot explain

Is anyone else seeing it right now?

If something is happening as you read this, mark it. One tap, no account, nothing to write. Then look at whether anybody else has done the same in the last day, and how that compares to an ordinary night. A light is not the only thing that counts: a sound, a figure, a feeling, a dream that will not stay a dream. All of it belongs here.


Checking what is happening…

Before you decide it was strange

What is genuinely up there tonight. On the nights this list explains what people are seeing, we say so, which is what makes the nights it cannot explain worth your attention.

Chatter is not evidence. It is the weather this record gets written in, and knowing it is windy matters. A post like these scrolls away in a day. An account written down here is still findable by someone searching in ten years, and the record measures every night either way.

Why a quiet page is the honest answer

Times when a lot of people see the same thing are rare. Across the whole record, the average day anywhere produces about 0.76 accounts, and in most single places the usual answer is none at all. So this page will normally say nobody is reporting anything, and that is the point: the number only means something because it is usually zero.

A tap says how many. Only you can say what.

When it is over, write down what actually happened while you still remember the details. That is the part that lasts.
