I couldn't see anything moving in the sky (and many stars and the Moon were visible at the time). Orion was largely invisible, but two of its four bright stars were visible - 30 minutes. If clouds were to blame, then shouldn't the other two stars of Orion have dimmed, and/or reveal other stars? If it was clouds, then they must have been frozen in time for 30+ minutes. If anyone has seen the constellation Orion in the last 100 hours, please e-mail me privately. I haven't had a clear night since that mysterious night. Thank you. ------------------------------ Jonathan T.
