There was a gigantic halo around the moon, a huge ring that covered a large portion of the sky, but it vanished after five minutes or so. Weird atmospheric thing.
Too bad I don't have a camera, it was a cool picture to take.

Well, on that very poetic and positively exciting piece of information, I'm off to bed. Good day/night/whatever everybody.

It happens around here sometimes, if it get's very cold.(relatively speaking, "very cold" is mid to low 20s.(3-5 degrees below 0c for you Euro types)

Yeah, I've seen something similar in England during the winter. I think it's a miniture rainbow caused by ice crystals - but don't quote me. That's just my limited estimation that it's a freezing cold, clear sky and that rainbows look similar.

A Raindog, we get those small rainbow like things every now and then.

I saw it too.  Just thought it was a weird effect from looking out the car window.

COVENANT!!!!!!!!

uh-oh...  could be Flood too...

It was Nazi moonbase, I tell you! NAZI MOONBASE! They arm their evil laser-cannon-thingy to DESTROY THE WOOORLD!!!
We are in desperate need of spaceships to repel the evil Nazi assault before it's too late.
Spaceships... with napalm. That'll teach them.

It's a temporal distortion caused by the third... fourth... fifth maybe incarnation of Daniels from Enterprise.

Yes.

Nazis are overplayed in ST.

[Hollewanderer]

We'll napalm ST too! There is never enough delicious fire!
And those are goo... well, not quite good, but superior Nazis! They have killer cyborg zombie SS robot satanic clones and 1337" cannons! And cyber-Hitler! And they are on the dark side of the Moon! Moon! You can't discuss with their mad Moon powers! ST can go bite some shiny metal ass, I say!
That's it, before we set it on fire. Or after. It's more FUN that way!

Gravitational lensing effect caused by disturbed local gravity fields from a space-fold drive.

The SDF-1 has landed.

(From the novels, anyways, that's what it did.)

Moondoggie.  Caused by a certain amount of water particles in the air.

[Tiara]

Yup, usually the clouds (which are essentially water) cause it. i just saw it when I was outside with the dog.

Well that was certainly a big doggie

[Hollewanderer]

Bah! You and your rational, logical thinking! Always ruining the fun!

Damnit! I told them NOT to test the U.L.S.W.P.E (Ultimate Lunar Surface Weapon Pointed at Earth) so soon.

That's a pretty suspicious acronym... I'm willing to bet there's some kind of ulterior, sinister motive behind that...

[Gortef]

no... nope... nu-uh... no way... *shakes head*...
