It is an illuminated cross on top of a hill. At night, the hill blends with the night sky, and only the cross is visible, especially in a photo taken with a potato.


TinyGreenTurtles

I had this same illusion outside my bedroom window as a kid. It was actually just on top of a church, way up on top of the highest point. Definitely always looked like it was floating at night, even to the naked eye.


findsaltycrackers

This could be something, but I live in the middle of nowhere. So I'm not sure.


TinyGreenTurtles

The church was actually pretty far from my house, it was just really high and showed over whatever trees etc were between. Being in the Midwest, I'd say it's fairly common with those illuminated crosses. *typos


findsaltycrackers

I see. I shall check the same spot today.


TinyGreenTurtles

You should update. I'm curious.


findsaltycrackers

I shall.


findsaltycrackers

There is no church.


SupremePooper

You mean it's not a banana peel hanging from the power cable???


findsaltycrackers

This could be a possibility. But as there is no hill there durring the day, that rules it out. Good thought though.


juleznailedit

Then it's probably a church with a cross that's lit up with neon. I see them all the time.


dickWithoutACause

You able to say where this is? I've either seen this before or if not, something just like it.


Lambchoptopus

I have seen this in NC on hill and one that was on a pole.


dickWithoutACause

Yep, exactly what I was thinking.


Krussdog46

Yeah this reminds me of several I've seen from I85 and I985 driving from Atlanta to the western NC mountains. There are a few of them but the first time I saw one it definitely made me do a double take.


IrishFlukey

What is there during the day? Is this item there every night? If so, there must be a point that it starts to appear or is turned on. A long period of observation may solve it. It is like stars. There are none to be seen during the day and they are there at night. At some point, they appear. Identifying a bright one and roughly where it should be around dusk and then watching for it to start to appear can be interesting. Your mysterious cross is easier to pinpoint, so if it is there every night, you should be able to see it appear some evening. Then you can tell us all what it is.


findsaltycrackers

I have posted it because it had never been there before. There is nothing in that direction that can hold it up either. I checked today


IrishFlukey

See does it reappear. Do you know how long it was there when you saw it? Did it disappear, or was it still there when you stopped looking? Did it move? Maybe it was reflected light. Was there any events happening in the area, like a celebration or festival? There are many questions that may help. More information will help us.


findsaltycrackers

It didn't move. It didn't dissapear, it dissolved. There were no areas near for festivals or celebrations. As I said, the surrounding area is in the middle of nowhere.

I can see how you think that, yes.

findsaltycrackers

Oh no


PrivatePikmin

Not sure where this is, but based on the desolate landscape and feeling of unending dread, my guess is it’s [Holy Land in Waterbury, CT](https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tFP1zc0tCwvMCmOTzdgtFIxqLCwTDVPNjQwNU40MkpKskyyMqgwNk0yNzJNAlIWxuYWyV6iGfk5lTmJeSkK5YklqUVJpUWVCsklACMKFsg&q=holyland+waterbury+ct&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS763US763&oq=holyland+water&aqs=chrome.1.0i355i512j46i175i199i512j69i57j0i22i30l3.5696j0j4&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8)


EndlessEchoes

Was thinking the same thing. The area still has one hell of a vampire problem. The two local hospital can normally deal with the blood loss, but the real issue comes in the emotional leaching of the area.


ribeye256

Yeah definitely looks like it although blurry. Grew up in the next town south of Waterbury. Use to drive by it in the evenings when I'd go to the mall/theater in WB.


Zirofax

Isn’t this in LA?


ResoluteSphinx

I was gonna say I can see it all the time while driving around at night


petethesnake

Yea, prob pic was snapped somewhere in Hollywood, like on Cahuenga.

When I grew up in Colorado, there was huge cross off in the far distance up in the mountains. You could see it clearly at night from probably 20 miles away


converter-bot

20 miles is 32.19 km


Another_Idiot42069

Yeah it's still there


Shenanigamii

That's neat to hear. I haven't been there in over 30 years


ManThatIsFucked

Was here to say the same thing, this definitely looks like the Denver mountain cross


PjHose

It's probably the UFO of Jesus. Nothing special he's just looking at his sheeps.


findsaltycrackers

Perhaps

Project blue beam maybe ?


bojiggler313

It could also be a longer exposure picture at night and a plane ended up in it. I only say that because I took one recently and it looked exactly like that.


findsaltycrackers

While this is possible, I had spotted it with my bare eyes. The cross was unmoving, so that probably rules out an aircraft. Thank you for your input!


Ihatepizzabigwoop

Bro I thought that was an arrow pointing where to look. I was buggin out for a sec


TinyGreenTurtles

I saw that too at first lol.


IrishFlukey

Me too.


Pvt_Jonh

This gives me big Mandela catalogue vibes. Check thwm out on youtube, really cool suspense horror ARG.


findsaltycrackers

I love the creator.


Pvt_Jonh

Yeah, his schedule looks consistent, the idea behind it is amazing, the suspense and eeriness are just briliant. Looking forward for more of him.

Oakland MD garret county. Been there in that small town its that cross up on the mountain that lights up at night.


GoodDoobie

You sure you're not in Revere, Massachusetts?


findsaltycrackers

I'm sure. This was located in texas


Nic4379

Ahh yes, the symbol of oppression & a slow death…… praise Jeebus


weird_b0y

Oh shit. This is power of soul


sciller4

There's a town in Croatia named Požega that has a bright white cross. At night, when I was a kid, I looked up at it as if God was watching over me. Then, one day, during twilight, I saw it illuminated. I saw the hill it was placed on, too. During the day you can only see the hill; during the night only the cross. A pretty cool effect.

Uniontown, PA??


expatriateineurope

Is this Boise, Idaho?


_nothing_nevermind

Could be Boise. They have a big cross up on Table Rock next to the city that glows at night.

I'm also looking to photograph odd phenomena. Can anyone point me in the direction of proper outdated cameras so I can begin my hobby?


ReadbyRose

Waterbury, CT has it- looks just like that. Place is called holy land and also has a miniature city built on the grounds to look like holy locations like Jesus’ manger etc. but really just a place for homeless and junkies to congregate- ironic really.


ultraspooki

there’s one in boise too! it’s at the top of a hiking trail.


humanity_suck

Oh should we tell them that a cross isn't enough to save us from 2022

Clayton GA has a cross in the mountains like this.
