just saw a cobalt blue cloud over oakley, California, took picture
Hello:
I just saw a cobalt blue cloud(s) over Oakley, California around 7:30 pm. i am confused. Are clouds supposed to be white? They can be dark if it rains. But cobalt blue? I am not lying. Cobalt blue.
I googled cobalt blue cloud and found this:

can anyone make sense of this poem?
was this cobalt blue cloud a radioactive cloud?
I am loosing my mind here. Never seen anything like this in terms of color of a cloud before.
link to flicker to see clouds
this is a link to flicker to see clouds. It was in the evening, and I did not have a flash light, the pictures are taken through the window. I hope one can see the thick saturated cobalt blue of the clouds.

Thanks for the pics. Number
Thanks for the pics. Number 007& 008, which are the ones taken when there was more light, do show the blueness, and I would say irregular clouds. (As the sky gets darker, the clouds seem to be less differentiated due to the sky's own dark-blueness). You do have some proof that something unnatural is occurring, and of course people that don't believe in the "nonsense" that radiation can effect the atmosphere won't even bother to look at these. But then again, observation is the key to natural science.
Honestly, it's hard to tell
Honestly, it's hard to tell what to mak of that. I would think, personally, it's just an artifiact of how the light is playing off the clouds at sunset.
I hear you. It is quite
I hear you. It is quite interesting though how people try to rationalize this. The picture does not show the intensity of the cobalt color well.
The cloud color was so unnatural it could have well been green.
Trust me, this was not an artifact.
To the person in Oakley,
To the person in Oakley, please post your picture on Facebook or other public domain and let us know where. If you don't have one go to Facebook and search for "Banned by IAEA" and post there. (The poem is not important, but your sighting and a picture is).
Yes, please post the
Yes, please post the picture.
i will post it tomorrow, do
i will post it tomorrow, do not have a connecting cable. hope the colors will be good though.
Possible release from nearby refineries + nuclides=Color!
I used to live in Martinez, CA and know the East Bay Area well. According to a retired lab worker if there was a release from any of the refineries in the area it IS possible for colors such as Cobalt blue to occur when certain chemicals are able to react with radioactive particles in the air.
I'm wondering which radionuclides are in elevated concentrations in Oakley and hope that any in the area aren't having any major malfunctions.
P.S. You might want to keep your windows closed at night since their 'favorite' times to do industrial atmospheric 'dumps' are usually when most people are sleeping from around 10 PM to 5 AM. Also, SOME of the refinery processes do release radioactive materials into the air and, in the 1980's an industrial waste company in the area used Barber Coleman Waste Incinerators to dispose of medical and other radioactive waste with allowable release through the processing method of 3600 ppm of U-238 (possibly others but this is from a retiree.)

You seem to be very well
You seem to be very well informed regarding industrial practices and pollution. I always look forward to your posts because they are so revealing. I had no idea how sloppy and irresponsible the industry could be. This whole mess is really pulling back the curtain for me.

Reply: Thanks for the compliment, but it's really friends with years of experience I know whom I can ask and learn from that really deserve the accolades.
As for 'sloppy and irresponsible,' one of them related that Dutra dredging was involved in a dredging project from the San Francisco Bay to the Carquinez straights in the 1970's/80's -they dredged up old Opium bottles from the 1800s' and stirred up many non-radioactive heavy metals and toxins dumped during the time (actually made the Dutra dredging crew ill for a while afterwards) with the same faulty reasoning as that of oceanic nuclear waste dumping such as the Farallons et al-'It won't hurt anything since the ocean is so huge and 'let the next generation deal with it 100 years from now; we won't be around by then!'
PS: Remember the 1970's Alamo, CA 'cancer cluster?' No mystery per a retired refinery worker: before Alamo, Danville and Blackhawk were as developed as they are now it was largely raw country land with pastures. When they needed to do a 'dump' emergency or otherwise they'd check the windsock and send it that way. Now, they wait 'till the wind blows towards Pittsburg, Concord or Antioch way and this is why for example on some evenings if you happen to be out at Buchanan airport or shopping at Sam's club in Concord sometimes you can smell the stench.
