Fire Down Below
Fire Down Below (1997)

IMDB rating: 4.30

Plot: EPA agent Jack Taggart is Stunned to hear from his boss Phil Pratt that his best friend and fellow agent Frank Elkins has been found dead in Kentucky after Frank’s truck plunged into a river. The Kentucky State Police believes that it was an accident, but the EPA believes it was no accident. It all began with an anonymous letter from the small town of Jackson, Kentucky. Frank was sent to Jackson to investigate what the letter described as some kind of pollution that is causing fish to die and causing people to get sick enough to die. Frank sent back water and soil samples that all tested off the charts for toxic substances. After Frank discovered that the Hanner Coal Company, owned by Orin Hanner Sr., is being paid to dump toxic waste into an abandoned coal mine shaft, Frank ended up dead. Jack is assigned to go to Jackson, where his contact will be Reverend Bob Goodall, who runs a church in Jackson. After arriving in Jackson, Jack finds out that he’ll be staying in a room in the church’s basement, and as Jack’s contact, of course Bob knows that Jack will be going undercover as a carpenter. Jack begins by repairing the roof at a house where he meets Henry Carr, his wife, and his kids Edie, Alberta, Christine, and Walter. Walter is sick because of the pollution. That night, Hanner’s son Orin Hanner Jr., also known as Junior, spies on the church along with corrupt Sheriff Lloyd, who is on Hanner’s payroll. On the next day, when Jack goes into downtown Jackson, he meets Betsy Hamill and her twin sister Patsy Hamill. Jack then walks down the street and introduces himself to Cotton Harry. Then Jack takes some water samples. At church on Sunday, Bob introduces Jack to everyone, and tells everyone that Jack is a carpenter. During lunchtime at the church, Jack introduces himself to Sarah Kellogg, a local outcast who is a beekeeper. Sarah has a brother named Earl. Jack goes to Sarah’s house and offers to repair the steps on her front porch. Over time, Jack comes to believe that something is bothering Sarah, and it’s something dark. Jack wants to save her from whatever it is, while trying to bring Hanner and his crew down.

Vivid dreams and nightmares?
I’ve always had mental health issues, seeing things, depression, anxiety and social anxiety disorders, headaches and such. Those I’ve grown… somewhat used to. (All of that is not professionally diagnosed, but the anxiety, depression, and social anxiety disorders run in my dad’s side of the family, so I’m very unsurprised that I probably have them…)

Anyways, now I’ve been having very vivid and strange dreams. I can only remember two at the moment, but I’m sure I’ll have more before this question is resolved.

Now for the two I remember: The first one I’ve had more than once, and in it I am hunted down around my town and murdered by someone who I know I recognized, but could not identify. I’ve had that one twice now.

The second one, please don’t laugh because it left me feeling very uneasy. My family was apparently made up of werewolves (my mom, dad, little brother, and me). My brother and I were both a couple years older than we really are, he was around 13 (the age my best friend’s brother is…?) and I was around 17. Apparently my brother was having troubles where he sleeps for like 14 hours at a time, but does not feel very rested (a problem I myself am having in real life because of my dreams). I was some kind of chosen something or other, and was a very special kind of werewolf. However I was very depressed (as I am in real life) and was sobbing, nude, in the bathroom. My mother was talking to me though I did not recognize what she was saying, and my father was laughing from his bedroom.

I’ve always been interested in the human body, anatomy, and stuff like that, so my dreams are always very specific in the shapes of people’s bodies, and I’m an amature writer so everything else is always very descriptive and vivid. This makes it hard for me because I think it’s real at first.

Because of these dreams and all of my other issues, I’ve not been able to fall asleep easy from fear of them, and so I stay up lying in the dark in my bed for hours at a time, until about two or three in the morning, and then do not wake up until two or three the next day, feeling unrested and on the edge.

So uhm… any reason why I might be having these problems and can someone help me out with them?
Thanks!

I’ve tried Melatonin, it doesn’t do much for me.


I have no relevant training or experience, so these are just opinions from some guy off the street.

I can certainly see your literary talent.
While reading your werewolf dream, I was going to suggest writing a short story on this as therapy.

There are techniques for dealing with stress and anxiety:
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/relaxat ion-technique/sr00007

There is plenty of generic advice for falling asleep:
Go to bed at the same time every night, including weekends.
Don’t do daytime tasks in bed.
If you can’t sleep after a reasonable amount of time, get up for a while and do something non-stimulating.
Glass of warm milk.
Try taking a hot bath or shower before bed to relax you.

I have had some success with melatonin, sold in health food stores. Your body normally manufactures this when it is time to sleep. It does not make me sleepy at all, but I often fall asleep better after taking it. Strange stuff. I have had friends tell me it gives them strange dreams, so in your case maybe this is not such a good idea.

One specific technique you may benefit from is lucid dreaming:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dream
Taking control of dreams that would otherwise upset you might be helpful.

Counseling is a good idea as well, especially when you state conditions that you believe you have, but have not been professionally diagnosed.

Son has to go to court for throwing snowballs and stones at a STOP sign….?
He is thirteen, has never had a problem with the police, is a good student and made a stupid mistake by using a STOP sign as a target. I remember doing stupid things like this when I was his age and I don’t think he understood at the time that what he was doing would be considered a third degree misdemeanor. I spoke with the officer the day it happened and I assured him that I would take care of it. Eight months later we get a letter in the mail telling us that our son should be in a juvenile program for troubled youth. It was a program that would require him to do community service. My husband and I choose not to participate because we didn’t think what he did was serious enough and had handled the situation with our son. A couple months later we are being called to court! We don’t have money to hire an attorney and went downtown to legal aid but I am wondering if there isn’t more that I could do? I don’t want this on his record…he is a good kid that made a stupid mistake. He did admit to the officer that he threw snowballs and stones. In court, should he plead no contest? Please, any legal advice would be greatly appreciated!!! I also want to add that it is suspected that a neighbor who has called the police on us before over petty things is the person who made the police report. We are a biracial couple and think that might have something to do with our neighbors dislike for our family. Again, we cannot hire an attorney, what are our options?


Your big mistake was ignoring a court summons. You should never ignore such things. He would have had to have said "sorry" and that would have probably been the end of it. Whether the neighbor is a racist is not the issue. You need to beg or borrow money to get a lawyer. And tell him to never admit anything without you being present.
MadMan | Nov 21, 2009


Your record gets wiped clean at 18 I’m pretty sure.
Ilya | Nov 21, 2009


I think a 13 year old understands what they are doing. Common sense would tell him that stop signs are there for a reason and obstructing one is bad.
He may not have known ‘third degree misdemeanor’ but if he has half a brain hed understand the stupidity of it.

If you cant afford an attorney they give you one. Its the law. Have you never heard what police have to say as they arrest someone. Its on alot of tv shows. But its true.
peanut 2 | Nov 21, 2009


What a ridiculous, scared little country this has become. Next they’ll arrest kids for walking funny. Work with legal aid–and look into suing the neighbor. Call around, a lot, and you might just get an attorney who’s interested.
Boko's Back | Nov 21, 2009


First, don’t freak out.
Remember, this is juvenile court, not adult court.
We can’t decide for ourselves whether we are going to comply with a court order. It’s the law. So, go ahead to court. Your son will be assigned a defense attorney; you don’t need to buy one if you can’t afford it.
Explain the situation to the judge. Respectfully. Let your son testify truthfully to what he did. If the judge orders any community service or other action, have him do it. Let him take responsibility before the law. If he cooperates, he will be out of trouble in a short time. It will not be on his permanent record.
By resisting the court’s procedure, you are making things harder on yourselves and on your son. You are teaching him not to respect law enforcement or the courts; that’s a bad message. He may need the help of the police or the court system some day. It’s not good to think of them as enemies.
As for the neighbors calling the police, if you were breaking the law, I guess you just have to be more careful. If you weren’t, then the police should soon catch on as to what is happening.
Bad neighbors can be a pain.
The First Dragon | Nov 21, 2009


go to court. Plead guilty. His guilt is not in question since he admitted it.
Explain your son is a good student and has never been in trouble. You can say you THOUGHT the paper you were sent was only a recommendation not an order.
Explain that sending your son to such a program would expose him to "troublesome children" and you disapprove of exposing you son to such situations.
Offer instead to have him do community service somewhere…perhaps a shelter, a library, a fire station etc.
Before court have your child write an apology letter for "throwing snowballs"
I wouldn’t admit to the stones…just the snowballs unless specifically asked.

Honestly this is SOOOO stupid. I can’t believe someone really called the cops! What ever the judge ordered do it.
You don’t need a lawyer, but you DO need to speak up and let the judge know your child is NOT a delinquent and sending him to a program for delinquents is not in his best interest.

Had you not said "snow" I would have been sure you live in New Orleans. Highest murder rate in the US and the police boost their conviction rates with stupid crap like this. But you said the letter said "should" right? Was he even given a ticket? It doesn’t matter if your son said he did it if he wasn’t read his rights. I would go with legal aid or without just to see if Officer Moron shows up. (He won’t.) A judge who entertains this will be a judge on Headline News. Unbelievable.
Louisa | Nov 21, 2009


Get a court-appointed attorney. Unfortunately, having a cornhole neighbor isn’t going to convince the court of anything, and it will sound like you are making excuses for your son rather than making him face the consequences of his actions. I agree the charges are a bit ridiculous if he didn’t damage the sign, but he did break the law and you will all need to deal with it. In family courts, there are a handful of prosecutors and public defenders that all work together on just juvenile cases. His attorney will be able to tell you quite quickly what the best course of action is. The crime is small, he’s a first offender, and basically a good kid…the consequences will probably not be huge. Whatever happens, I *highly* doubt that this will appear on a background check when he is 18. It sucks, but all you can do is use it as a learning experience for your son…who I’m guessing doesn’t have a life of crime ahead of him.

Hello, I believe legal counsel would be helpful to represent you. If you need assistance I can help point you in the right direction with other options just send me an email. Sometimes public defenders and legal aid don’t look out for your best interest.Take Care
legalmom | Nov 21, 2009


Your "Options" have Little to with You, & MUCH to do with Him. The Law states that he was damaging Public Property- and the "sentence" for such Behavior is usually a $50- $100 Fine, -and (or) a Spell of Community Service- PER Count. An "Unfair" sentence for a 13 year old doing something "stupid" ? -Probably. But this is "Life", -& unfairness & stupidity in It go "hand in hand…" And even if you COULD afford a Lawyer, his "fees" would easily cost you from $500-$1,000 and UP…-to MAYBE avoid a $50 fine or some Community Service… Your Son is NOT going to be "damaged" for Life by this Incident. He’ll be considered a Juvenile, and if he doesn’t have any more problems with the cops- his "Record" will be expunged (wiped clean) when He turns 21. So let Him do his Community Service- and get ON with His (and Your) life… I promise You, he’ll have BIGGER problems than THIS in his Life…-so save your concern for the ones worth your Trouble…
Joseph the Second | Nov 21, 2009


First of all, unless there is proof that the neighbor called and tried to cause trouble, don’t open that can of worms. If he did, and filed a false police report, he will have to answer for it. If he didn’t, the bad blood dragging him into this will create is NOT something you want.

Secondly, I agree that this does seem a bit excessive. However, consider what could have happened if a car had come through the intersection and a rock had hit it. What if it had been a bicyclist? Somebody walking? Basically, be glad that he’s getting a slap on the wrist and not a lawsuit.

Thirdly, it sounds as though there was a court order for him to do community service. You should have called to clarify. Ignoring something from city hall or the police is always a bad idea.

Since your son is a minor, you will be at least partly responsible for paying his ticket. Talk to legal aid and see what your best bet is.

In court, you can explain that you did not understand the officer or the order. It might convince the judge, it might not. Do not mention the neighbor. Be sure that you understand what is going on in court. Is he being charged? With what? What are the consequences. Find this out BEFORE you appear in court.

Bible believers: What do you think was the chain of events regarding Satan's rebellion against God?
consider these passages

Genesis 1:26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

Isaiah 14:12 "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! 13 For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’

Ezekiel 28:13-15 You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, Beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes Was prepared for you on the day you were created. 14 "You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones. 15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you.

Genesis 3:1-5 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, "Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?" 2 And the woman said to the serpent, "We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ " 4 Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

Did Satan first try to get humans to join him in his rebellion or had had he already fallen when he started a rebellion against God and got Angels to join him?
Ezekiel refers to the "anointed cherub" a cherub is not a human king. In Isaiah Lucifer is the "power" behind the evil kings. The serpent in Genesis 3 is identified as the Devil in Revelation 12.


1) What do you think was the chain of events regarding Satan’s rebellion against God?

Since the bible gives us no indication, I cannot imagine what they might have been. That’s sort of like asking someone what would they guess happened during the life of someone that they’ve never met or read about. For example: what do you think was the chain of events resulting in my moving from one state to another?

2) consider these passages

Gen 1:26 – does not mention Satan directly or indirectly

Isa 14:12 – ditto

Eze 28:13-15 – ditto

Gen 3:1-5 – well, **IF** we assume that this was Satan (and not a serpent as is claimed by the bible), all it tells us for sure is that Satan was operating on Earth at the time and that there is no indication here that "Satan" had fallen from Heaven. Indeed, considering that Satan appears much later (certainly after the Noadic flood) in Job and is able to travel freely between Heaven and Earth in that account, it would seem that even at that "late" date Satan had not yet been cast out of Heaven as described by Jesus.

So, really, you have to base the "chain of events" on passages that actually refer to Satan, passages that you did not reference. Satan was not "cast out" during the time of Job (though he may already have incurred lesser disfavor), and he was able to "contest" with "the angel of the Lord" in Zechariah chapter 3. It *is* interesting that Satan is not described as an angel in Zechariah. It may be that this vision was of a future event – but IF I were to hazard a guess, I would begrudgingly admit that it would seem as if Satan may have been in rebellion in the time of Zechariah.

Some claim that the contest over Moses’ body is evidence of Satan’s fall at a fairly early date: however, Job was almost certainly written long after the time of Moses and recounts a person living a settled life (clearly not a nomadic one) in the Promised Land. Linguistic analysis likewise places Job later than Moses – in fact, either very late in the Kingdom Period or more probably even *later*. If we judge that Satan was not "cast out" in Job, then we have to believe that this happened sometime late in the Kingdom Period or afterward, but possibly before the time of Zechariah.

Revelation mentions "Satan and his angels". The problem here is: is this passage speaking of *actual* angels – supernatural beings created as servants for God? Or is it speaking of **messengers** – the actual translation of the term "angels"? More: Revelation tells us plainly that those events are in the future of the author – proving that the "fall" of Satan in Revelation cannot be the same as the one that Jesus witnessed *unless* Jesus was speaking prophetically. Considering Satan’s actions in the New Testament, it would seem extremely likely that he had already fallen from Heaven before Jesus spoke of witnessing that event. Therefore, the answer to the question of Satan’s angels is only more questions:
* are we speaking of supernatural beings or messengers?
* is there any evidence that Satan seduced other angels to follow him (instead of God) earlier than the time of Revelation?
* Revelation speaks of Satan enlisting humans in his rebellion against God, but this is clearly apocalyptic – by which I mean, an event that occurs in our future. We know that Satan attempted to enlist the ultra-powerful Jesus – but other than that, has he ever actually made an attempt (in the bible) to enlist human followers *prior* to the time of Revelation?

The answer is that the bible tells us next to nothing about the fall of Satan or of any **existing** (as opposed to **future**) following of supernatural angels.

Satan is obviously a metaphor for atheists and people who don’t believe what religious leaders tell them to believe. Religious man: "be subservient! Obey what I say! I speak for an invisible being!" Atheist: "I’ll be sceptical. I’ll choose to seek knowledge and fact over faith and blindness". Result: The thinker is chasised as evil, the non-thinker is praised for his obedience.

The adam and eve story and Noah are so clearly made up to try scare enpeople with an inclination to think independently that it should be a part of the dictator’s handbook on how to rule people.
Sisyphus | Nov 18, 2009


It really wasn’t that complicated. Satan reached his teenage years and, as all of them do, figured he knew everything. He eventually got tired of his Father harping on him about getting a job and moving out of the basement and knew against knowledge that his Father never understood that when he hit the big time with his band everything would be different.
HTacianas | Nov 18, 2009


First of all, Satan is the Adversary. There is more than one Satan. The person you are speaking of is Saint Lucifer.

Saint Lucifer was an angel, the Angel of Music. He was God’s right hand man. God went to him when he needed council, and he asked Lucifer for advice. When God created the humans, according to the Christian belief, he told the angels to bow down not to Him anymore, but to the humans. Lucifer, along with several other angels (Including Gabriel, who was spared by God but cursed as the Angel of Death), blatantly told God that he could basically suck it, and led a rebellion. God, of course, prevailed, and punished Lucifer by placing him in a dimension far below Earth, and punished the other Angels by distorting them and banishing them to the same vile place (Hell).
Joey | Nov 18, 2009


Lucifer was the most loved angel. He knew this. The love given to him slowly turned into self love, which turned into egotism, which turned into selfishness, which turned into rebellion. This is a side effect of free will.
tripageous | Nov 18, 2009


If you read the Apocrypha it does explain what happened that made Satan the way he became. Before God created us, he informed his angels of making us in his image. Well the devil wasn’t to please with that. God told him that he would put Adam over him and the other angels and that he must honor Adam. The devil didn’t want that. So God made him a deal, if he could name the animals by name, he would put him over Adam but if Adam could name the animals by name, the devil would have to honor him. The devil lost. He refuse to honor Adam.
Michael told Satanail that if did not honor Adam something was going to happen to him. That is when the devil decided, well I will just make my kingdom better than God. So God cast him out of heaven.
The bible doesn’t give all detail, but the Apocrypha does.

Super mega challenge for trinity believing Christians?
Where is the Biblical evidence of the Trinity?

Don’t say; "New tetament" or "they were nailed to the cross" or any other silly stuff.

Show me the Exact Verse/s to support it (if any).

Look at the 10 commandenments can you say you honstly follow them.

Remember this ; John 14:15(King James Version)

If ye love me, keep my commandments.

Exodus 20:1-21 (King James Version)

Exodus 20
1And God spake all these words, saying,

2I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

6And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

7Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

12Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

13Thou shalt not kill.

14Thou shalt not commit adultery.

15Thou shalt not steal.

16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his a** [I have to say a** because apparntly the other word for donkey is a violation to yahoo answers], nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

18And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.

19And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

20And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.

21And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

So where is the Evidence for the trinity (in the Bible),Ive already got one against it.(John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments)

7th Day adventist.


Dude,

The trinity was invented a few centuries after the supposed execution of the insurgent Jesus. They had to reconcile current doctrine with other nonsense.

II. FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT:

OT Evidence:

1. 9 different Hebrew words for "ONE"

Of these 9 words the words "man", "woman" and "soul" those used to indicate
"one thing" are never applied to God or express the oneness of God because
God is not a "man", "woman", or "a soul".

There is also a word which means "absolute oneness" Ps.68:6, and this word
is also never applied to God.

2. There are several words for one that are applied to God but these words
indicate a "compound oneness."

Gen 1:5 The first day, a combination with two things "the evening and
morning, one day".

Gen 2:24 Adam and Eve became "one flesh" but they were both still separate
individuals. They were two but one and one but two.

Gen 3:22 "the man has become one of us, to know good and evil;" Adam and
Eve became one with God yet they did not lose their personhood or God his
divinity. There is nothing in the text to infer that God is speaking to the
angels. Thus the "us" in the text is God HIMSELF referring to HIMSELF in the
plural.

Gen 11:6 "the people were one" they were "one and many" at the same time.

Gen 34:16,22 The Shechemites wanted to become "one people" with the Jews.

2Chron 30:12 God gave the people "one heart" but they were thousands of
individuals.

Ezra 2:64 The congregation, 42,360 persons, is called "one".

Jer 32:39 Under the New Covenant God will give His people "one heart".

3. Deut 6:4, the main verse Jews use to teach the oneness of God uses the
same Hebrew word for one that the above examples use to show "compound
oneness."

This is exactly want a Christian, Trinitarian, would expect to find. It is
the only way in Hebrew to indicate that God is a composite unity of Persons
and not just one person. There is no other Hebrew word to express this
. In the OT both singular and plural nouns, pronouns, adjectives, and verbs
are used for God. Many scholars have tried to say that the use of plurals
in the OT is simple the "plural of majesty." Which is the same argument that
Muslims use to answer why Allah speaks of himself as "We" in the Quran.

Book of genesis, chapter 1:26, and God said, Let US make man….. how do you reconcile God and US? God definitely is singular, there is only one God! absolutely! how about US? its plural? is there more than one God? I say again there is only one God, the trinity is a mystery, beyond human apprehension. Do not boast the law in the old testament, when Christ came, the law is over, Christ is the end of the law!

I like the Pet Semetary movies, it’s about zombie animals but in number 2 the boys abusive stepdad becomes a zombie, it scared the crap out of me as a kid. The stepdad in the movie is the voice of Mr Krabs in Spongebob.

Fido was an awesome zombie film. It didn’t take itself too seriously, but really gory and dreadful in some scenes. I advice you to see Fido. You’ll have a blast.

Is that a star satellite or a planet in my sky??
I live in Delta BC which is not to far from Vancouver. Can someone please tell me what it is I see every clear night in the sky. It is very bright and does not move I always thought that satellites moved but my brother in law (not at all that bright) says that I am worng ( he always says I am wrong) when I say it is either a planet (venus) or a star (supernova) because satellites move they don’t stay there for us to marvel at. Please help me.


There are geostationary satellites, but they orbit (at the same rate that the Earth rotates, so not really stationary) at about 22,000 miles out and are not visible to the naked eye.

All satellites visible to the naked eye move across the sky, generally in minutes. These will be unmistakable.

What you are seeing is Venus. It is often as bright, but half the time visible early morning rather than evening.

You should watch the sky more often. Venus is a common sight. It is simply that this appararition has coincided with the northern hemisphere spring and people see it later in the evening than they would in winter.

It still amazes me that the brightest object in the sky suddenly captures people’s attention when it is a common sight. (It is also one of the most common objects reported as a UFO).

nick s | May 13, 2007


If it is about 40 degree up from where the sun ought to be after it sets, due west, then what you are looking at is Venus.
Supernova that are close enought to be visible with the naked eye are very rare.
Vincent G | May 13, 2007


it is most likely a planet. planets are very bright in the sky and do not move

Why did i feel like this?
I was in class (i’m a nursing student). I made a statement after my clinical about my experience and turned beat red. I felt heat in my face and it was burning me. My heart rate did go up and i was breathing really hard. I had to leave the room to stop embarrassing myself. I went deeper than tomato red, i went pink. i felt confident when i started to speak but as soon as i finished my statement, i felt hot and blood rushed to my face.

What could be the cause of this? i am normally an anxious person, but never really had it like this. I couldn’t control anything and it sort of surprised me.


I don’t know, I’m usually really outgoing and confident but when I get in front of people I tense up.
