Did anyone who saw the TOTAL eclipse directly see anything unusual in the area around the sun? Any foreign bodies, unexplained space objects.... anything at all?

I am in Cincinnati right now and saw it. I saw nothing out of the ordinary. It was pretty uneventful really.
I saw nothing weird. It was dark enough that all my photocell lights came on, and I could easily see a planet to the west of the sun (probably Venus). Really wanted earthquakes or explosions, but no such luck. Kek!
I'm in Indiana, when at totality looking through binoculars (cheap pair), there is a very visible red light on the bottom of the sun. I had two others to confirm what I saw. Crazy times 🤐🤣. One person took photos since 10 am, on iPhone of the sun, they looked the same as the photos at full eclipse, nothing in front of the sun.
In Indiana as well. I could see a small red area at the bottom about 5:00 location.
Muncie here. Saw the red dot as well
You all sure it wasn't Bailey's Beads?

it just looked like a red light on the bottom from my location, not like the picture in that article. Another anon posted a video on the board from twitter-x that shows it from a telescope.
Looks like it was confirmed that the sun had two solar flares during totality. One was the one you pointed out at bottom and one at about 4 o'clock.
Good eye!
😊
Me and I was in Indiana that was from dayton.
I'm still in my bunker surrounded by crates of duck tape, plastic wrap and toilet paper.
Did humanity survive again?
Heh... no, we've all been taken up by the mothership and Earth is now under the control of psycho robots that are mopping up the few remaining survivors. Good luck, fren.
I'd post my pics if I knew how to attach them here. I snapped a bunch in succession, and there is a green object around the eclipse in different places in each shot. I don't know if it's something or not?
I've uploaded to imgur and then posted the image link here. Not sure if there's now a better way to get the pics up?
Go to catbox.moe
If it is in different places, and especially because it is green, I think that means what you have is a lens refraction. Thanks for reporting.
Looked like a solar flare to the bottom left of it, that was it. Pretty underwhelming despite all the MSM hype.
I seen the bright solar flare looking thing at the bottom.
From the southeast corner of Summit County, Ohio. I saw Mercury to the left and slightly above the sun and Venus to the right and slightly below. With the aid of a telescope, I saw Uranus, Jupiter, Mercury, the Sun, the Moon, Venus, Saturn, and Mars almost in a straight line in this order. Stellarium verified it. All this is natural. I saw nothing unnatural or man made.
Ok thanks.
I’m in Burleson, TX and we weren’t suppose to see the total eclipse, but it sure looked to me that’s what I indeed saw
Not sure where you heard that but Burleson was right in the path of totality. Almost all of DFW was.
Solar flare and 2 planets. It was exponentially longer than the eclipse in 2017 and the chemtrails were ridiculous prior.
I saw the total eclipse in Maine. I did not see the Devil's Comet or anything else unexpected. We had a cloudless blue sky before and after. It was a spectacular event.
There were several planes in the sky (and one low flying helicopter) but none of them sprayed chemtrails.
Thanks.
If you looked from the north, the main prominence made a Q.
In SW ark, had 4 minutes of totality. We did see the red spot but also could see a dim object above the sun. Didn’t have binoculars so not sure what it was. Could view planets, Venus, maybe mars??? There was an anomaly during totality that appeared like a comet shoot from the left side of the eclipse, found out later it was actually a NASA plane
Hmmm... "dim object above the sun..." Could you elaborate? Large? Small? Shape? Thanks.
It looked like a star, rather than a planet, very faint, only visible during maximum totality. Camera didn’t pick it up. It was cool. I’m pretty south so maybe it was this comet they told us about?
Should also add we had no chemtrails, no clouds, it was a perfect view for us, and it was absolutely amazing in full totality, like I feel so blessed to have seen that from my backyard!
Ok thanks.
Saw it all. Didn't see anything unusual.
I read on the NASA website, I believe, that the dot near the sun was the devil’s comet.
Thanks to all who reported. It was a curiosity question and addressed a certain "theory" I have heard on another website, which says there is an object near our sun but that it cannot be seen because of the brightness from the sun. Your comments seem to have disproved that.
Technically it wouldn't disprove that... if the "object" is not closer than the moon.
The theoretical object in question is supposedly larger and farther away than the moon. But I have my answer, no such object exists.
Nope didn't see anything weird. There was a lot of cloud cover so I only got a few glimpses during totality. It was a very cool experience though, I hope to do it again someday.
