Any thoughts on what caused bright star like object to appear on the loop?
I understand you can get the sun reflecting light on the ocean's surface but this is over land.

I have heard that Steele Reserve sometimes causes people to see things Laughing

That is interesting, maybe a lake or river reflection?

OH NO NO NOLES IS BACK! Had to run over to Circle K and pick up a 24 ozer before responding!
That loop started with what appeared to be sunlight reflecting off the ocean surface to the east of the Argentina coast. Then the bright spot appeared over north central Argentina and continued till it exited the South American continent. It grew brighter as it crossed then faded to nothingness. It's speed was much faster than the weather systems on the loop as if it was the same as the rotation of the earth. How do you play the loop back to the time of the event? All I can get is the current loop when I hit the link. Good to hear from you Jeff! Are you ready for some football?
