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'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.
