Interesting video I was drawn to. Last night the moon did look strange to me so I would like ask if anyone else has a better explanation.:confused:

I've been watching the moon with suspicion lol I have noticed that it hasn't been behaving quite right and have taken a few photos when it's shadow etc looked completely out and I'd never seen it looking like that. I'd just put it down to my ignorance lol.

Summer is drawing to a close in the Northern Hemisphere, and a symbol of fall hangs in the sky tonight (Sept. 18) to help drive that fact home — the Harvest Moon.

The Harvest Moon is the full moon that falls closest to the autumnal equinox, which marks the beginning of fall in the Northern Hemisphere. This year, the equinox falls on Sunday (Sept. 22), and the moon reaches its full phase in North America overnight from Wednesday to Thursday (Sept. 18-19).

This full moon is called the Harvest Moon because many fruits and vegetables tend to ripen in the late summer and early fall in the Northern Hemisphere. In the days before electricity, farmers relied heavily on this moon's light, working late into the evening to harvest their crops.
As it rises for several nights in a row at or near sunset, the moon will appear larger to observers near the horizon than it does high in the sky — a much-discussed phenomenon that is sometimes called "the moon illusion."

Our minds and eyes, used to seeing distant clouds on the horizon and closer ones a few miles overhead, believe that objects on the horizon are much farther away than objects higher in the sky. Since the moon is actually not farther away on the horizon, it appears larger.

This trick of the mind is true for the moon all year round, but it's particularly pronounced with the Harvest Moon because this full moon's path around Earth creates a particularly narrow angle with the horizon. As a result, the moon rises only 30 minutes later every day around the fall equinox, far below the average of 50 minutes.

Sometimes the moon turns orange, just like a fall pumpkin, because of clouds and dust in the atmosphere close to the horizon. So the Harvest Moon may hang low and large on the horizon tonight, like a colorful lantern.

The point of the video is not that it hangs low, but 23 degrees higher than usual. I do hope you watched the video?

Have you checked this website yet? http://www.curtrenz.com/moon12.html
It's linked in the description of the video you posted. Someone at this website suggest it has been debunked also saying this... "I have been blocked from replying to his YouTube presentations, hence the commentary seen here..."

okay , to demonstrate the time slip , chart the sun or moon or both for a week ... then check from your location where they should be , against where they are ... you will find they are out of place , cause... the time slip ... the ptb are trying to make the altered timeline the base timeline ... We have few stars at night and many othe r anomalies , you will see them if you look ...

At least in here in the last few days the moon has been where it should have been.
23 degree change would IMO be both immediately reported by astronomers and even more importantly change the tides enormously.
