"We cannot have a meaningful revolution without humor. Every time we see the left or any group trying to move forward politically in a radical way, when they’re humorless, they fail. Humor is essential to the investigative balance that we need to deal with diversity and the building of community." — bell hooks

Long iphone exposure of the night sky by Bob Dorough, taken January 2 2025 in Georgia, USA showing a strange light trail with highly erratic movement. Bob says "I was just outside taking some long-exposure astrophotos with my iphone. At one point I saw a bit of a flash in the corner of my eye. Literally said out loud, "Da heck was that?" but didn't think anymore of it. So when I got the photos loaded to my laptop, I found this. I really have no explanation. I've been doing backyard astrophotography since I was a kid and I've never seen anything that I couldn't explain until now. This was between Valdosta and Quitman at 7pm and is not edited at all. Thoughts?"
