Perhaps fittingly, Sky watches the sky.
When Skyler Livingston did that early Sunday he saw something he described to NewsCow as “really cool and slightly freaky.”
Livingston, a longtime local resident and photographer, was outside his home in rural Winfield when he looked up to the night sky. He lives in the Frog Hollow area, approximately three-and-a-half miles east and exactly two miles south of town.
It was around 1 a.m.
He described it like this on Facebook: “I looked up and (saw) this strange spotlight projecting a beam onto (a) perfectly formed cloud. The beam and the cloud were moving at the same speed and the cloud began to grow.”
Livingston had the presence of mind to snap some photos with his iPhone 13 and was surprised later to see how well they turned out. He shared details of what he witnessed with his wife.
Similar photos and descriptions, from locations around the midwest, were showing up on social media Sunday morning.
Asked his take on what he might have seen overhead, Livingston thought for a moment.
“Through stories from my mom and grandma and what they’ve seen, either they are things otherworldly,” he said “ Or we don’t know what our government’s up to.”
(Edited at 1:45 pm Sunday) The activity in the sky coincides with launch activity by the company SpaceX.
