What do you know of something like this? (media.piefed.social)

I made a blender model and animation of this thing I experienced to show how it looks like and moves, and to use that as a way to find out if someone knows what it is, where or why. I don't know much more and am wondering what others know based on their encounters. It's somewhere at some time, seems huge. The discs are flattish and don't reflect light other than from the edges. I've tried posting in a few communities and get mostly aggravated answers, or overtly focusing on how I got this knowledge (almost like I've done something forbidden when it's not an aspect I care about), and one got modded hidden.

To be honest, this sound a bit like you had something like an epiphany, where you mind has been working on a problem in the background and suddenly it all seems to make sense.

However since you don't know what it means, I don't know if calling it an epiphany is correct.

I don't know what the pattern means, but something that might help is to talk about it less as an experience, and more of an unusual brain fixation, it might help you talk about it without being dismissed as a weird UFO guy.

I hope you will get some clarity of what it might represent, though keep in mind that it might not represent anything, and fixation on it will cause it to appear more important than it actually is.

That's how some describe it. And yeah that's the point, it's not connecting the dots of previous research, it's getting "result" without the problem.

Not really fixated on this. It was a quick exercise to produce a file. But nothing is so unique that someone else wouldn't know more and that's where the internet could be useful

If it's not meant to explain now further, then maybe it does some other time, no worries
