This is some footage of a rarely seen sun candle (aka subsun), an optical phenomenon that occurs when sunlight is reflected off flat ice crystals in the atmosphere and appear as a beam resembling a giant candle flame. Are we sure that’s what it is though? Because I really think
This is some doorbell cam footage from Athens, Alabama (I grew up a half hour from there!) of a trampoline that decided it was tired of living in somebody’s backyard having children constantly trying to break its back and took to the skies, only to come crashing down on somebody’s
