This sub-forum is intended to contain news and topics relating to:

- the atmospheric strangeness encountered upon our earth, and ...
- strangeness in the skies above us, as observed from the earth's surface.

The intended focus is on subjects pertaining to what we experience within earth's atmosphere and what we can see of the wider universe from the ground.

Topics relating to astronomical subjects beyond earth's atmosphere (e.g., outer space, cosmology, and space exploration) would be more appropriately posted elsewhere - except to the extent such subjects involve ground-based observations and things we humans have done with regard to making sense of them (e.g., solstice alignments, sky-derived calendar schemes, and sky phenomena construed as signs or portents).

This section also covers anomalous phenomena involving things falling from the sky - e.g., meteors (in flight) and fish falls.

Topics relating to astrology as an esoteric divination practice (as opposed to making sense of the Zodiac as observed) would be more appropriately posted elsewhere.

Topics relating to flying animals may be more appropriately posted in (e.g.) FORTEAN FLORA or in certain instances the CRYPTOZOOLOGY section.

Topics relating to mysteries involving human activities aloft may be more appropriately posted elsewhere (e.g., GENERAL FORTEANA).

Topics relating to UFO's should be posted in the UFOLOGY section.

Topics relating to the earth as a whole (e.g., as a planet) may be more appropriately suited for (e.g.) the NEW SCIENCE section.
