    Anyone ever had an ocular migraine? Fucking trippy. I could see people making up crazy explanations.

    Totally painless, merely circular, rotating, rainbow flashes as you look around. Scared the crap out of me until I looked online. Thought it might be a sort of LSD flashback. Had it it hit me a few times in a short time span, never again.

    This is a great representation of what I saw, no blur in my case, or I didn’t notice any.

    Those aliens have incredibly fast ships. It doesn’t matter how fast you turn your gaze, they’re one step ahead.

    Didn’t it happen that people in LA started calling the cops one time during the pandemic because they saw the Milky Way for the first time in their lives?

      Might be an urban legend, but it was a blackout, not the pandemic. LOL, we didn’t just turn out the lights. :)

    If you look at the sky on a clear blue day, you can see the shadow of your own white blood cells moving around in your eyes.

    Sittin’ here on the toilet, it took me a second to shift the word “floaters” into proper context.

    No, Aliens successfully genetically bioengineered our eyes to have “eye floaters” that look exactly like their interdimensional starships flying overhead so they can fly them around on Earth without anyone noticing. It is all part of their evil genius plan!

    A while back in some thread, I mentioned a lecturer who claimed halos are explained by some people who can visibly see earth’s magnetic fields and wondered if it’s true. I had something to do and went about my business, but searched it up, later. It turns out many eye conditions can be the cause. Now I’m wondering about phosphenes!

          Hats are more commonly the subject of alien photos than aliens.

          FTFY

          If you can’t identify the object that’s flying, it’s a UFO. It doesn’t matter what it is. A flying hat that isn’t identified is still a UFO.

          If someone throws a hat in the air, you take a picture of it before it lands, and you don’t know what it is you’ve seen and photographed, technically you have taken a photo of a UFO.

            That is only because Aliens monitor all aircraft on earth and will if given the chance teleport-swap your hat for a UFO while it is thrown in the air (it is the perfect time to do it unfortunately). Notice how most politicians don’t wear hats, it is because they know their hats were long ago replaced with alien monitoring UFOs that only look and feel like hats and they are keeping the truth from us.

            Correct.

            More photos of UFOs have been determined to be hats than have been undetermined.

    I’m thinking about my eye floaters roughly 200% of the time and I still mistake them for bugs flying past my face at least once a week.

    I used to think of it as bacteria on top of my eyeballs. Then my sibling put in the fear that the bacteria is inside the eyeballs, which made sense since washing my eyes didn’t really remove it. I eventually stopped giving it any thought.

    Thank you for resolving it.
