With two separate nights in May, a strange blue laser sliced in the octopan in Oxfordshire, the country of England, leaving skywatters. Astrophotographer and communonkon of astronomy Mary Mcintyre Eerie’s scene got his remote cameras hunting Aurora – and what he saw didn’t match anything to meet before.
“The first time I saw it (May 1), I thought it was first that it was a rare form of Blue Aurora but then knew it was very easy,” McIntyre was talking to Space.com in an email. “It really isn’t worth anyone Aurora We’ve seen 30 or so shows we’ve got. “
The suspicion of an internal surface from a near RAF basis is sometimes used for film sets, McIstyRere considers the theory, then ordered it because of the speed of light.
Maybe lights from a party? McIntyre also saw the past, but not like this. “We have lights from the holidays before now, but again they don’t have as it, plus this blue sky beam at the early hours of the morning than at night.”
It’s not until McIntyre’s husband shares the footage from May 1 that a Astronomical friend is offered an explanation – a high-speed mapping train with a fruity nickname.
Culprit for the odd blue show show is a specialized train records Track status information The use of lasers in speeds up to 125 mph. It is officially known as the new measurement train (NMT), but the bright yellow paint that has earned the fun nickname “Flying Banana”.
“I can’t believe it when I saw it with our cameras at early hours on 29th May!” McIntyre said.
What, yellow, and checked the track at 125mph? This is our new train of measurement! Here’s how it works … pic.twitter.com/isytqgediJanuary 13, 2023
“While it looks cool, one also shameful there is another thing that contains the sky at night,” McIntyre continued.
