Nobody has stuck up a TV/phone mast on the Wicklow mountains?

The clouds broke here for a few minutes so i had a look. I saw it. Well i saw something as described above but it was only an out of focus Rigel dancing around in green and red due to the heat radiating upwards from my central heating. Couldnt get a crisp image of the Orion Neb either due to the heat but i could still see it and the dark "finger" in the middle of it. I saw it clear as day last week.........but im too tired to go outside so.

Did you notice any Amber light coming on between the red and the green?

(Both in Time and Space.)

Might be a clue.

Nope no amber lights. This thing was sitting still and we all know amber lights mean GO REALLY REALLY FAST.

LOL.
