Stargazing Eclipse, reflected light, Alternate Universe?

AI Thread Summary
In 2004, an individual reported seeing a figure with orange pants and a dark upper half in their hallway while alone at home. The sighting raised questions about scientific explanations for such experiences. The consensus among participants suggests it could be attributed to optical illusions or psychological phenomena, as brief glimpses can mislead the brain. The discussion emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between personal experiences and scientifically supported explanations. Overall, the phenomenon is likely a result of light perception or cognitive tricks rather than an alternate universe.

It was 2004. I was looking up stuff on the computer. Where my computer sits I have a relatively clear view of the hallway. Out of the corner of my eye, a figure passes by my hallway. No one was home and this could not have been a substantial human being. The figure had orange pants and a dark upper half. I own bright orange pajama pants and multiple dark hoodies/shirts.

How could this be explained scientifically?

It was almost certainly a trick of the light, or the mind. One esp has to be careful about those things seen very briefly, out of the corner of the eye. The brain can play all sorts of tricks.
 
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
