I don’t expect she’ll live that one down any time soon.

I noticed recently that Jupiter was spying on me too when I let my dog out at about 5:30 in the morning.

[Qui is]

Oops. Nevermind.

[BipolarBob]

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean the Jovians aren’t spying on you.

[Dr. Sivana]

Angie Dickinson she’s not.

[marktwain]

At least, they did not name her.

I wonder if that courtesy would have been given to a white male.

I hope so, but I wonder.

Good Lord how in the world is someone this dumb given a badge and a gun? I’m curious as to why this officer hadn’t noticed the ‘’blood moon’’ of late.

Last night I was observing the Moon. It was glowing a reddish orange. It has been for most of the week.

I knew a guy who was standing watch in the Navy, late at night, and saw a red light on the horizon that wasn’t changing bearing. He called the quartermaster to the deck, who informed him that it was Mars.

[ResponseAbility]

She’s lucky Uranus wasn’t following her.

[jmacusa]

It's the Uranians I worry about. You never know what's up Uranus.

[Reily]

Well those Jovians are sneaky !

[jcon40]

She forgot to read her horoscope

Jupiter has generally been associated with good luck and bounty. Optimism and growth (including mental and spiritual growth)
Jupiter is associated with a sense of humor, good will, and mercy.

And so on

Back in the 70s when UFOs were a big topic around here I had a friend who swore that there was a bright light following her car. If there are twists and turns in the road it can appear to be moving about. She was seriously pissed when I showed her that it was Sirius.

Now this is funny.

One time, I, too, had an instance of mistaking the moon for a spotlight. 3 am or so, on a cross-country drive, in the middle of BFE. I was in freeway hypnosis. The laugh broke me up in laughter.

I’m still here, but I do remember being dog tired and seeing that bright thing.

I was looking at Jupiter the other evening low in the sky to the east. It appeared extremely bright to the point I first thought it was an approaching aircraft. After a few seconds, I realized it was not moving so I checked my FlightAware App and then Skyview to see it was indeed Jupiter.

Paranoids are following me.....................
