Mysterious Sky Shapes
I captured these images at two separate times and I’m not quite sure what I’m seeing. Could anyone help me understand what these might be? I had a theory that they could be related to solar winds.

Those photos look intriguing! It’s not uncommon to see unusual shapes in the sky, and they can often be attributed to a variety of atmospheric phenomena. Since you mentioned the possibility of solar winds, it’s worth noting that solar winds usually create beautiful auroras, but they are typically visible in polar regions.
In Chesterfield, other potential explanations could include clouds forming unusual patterns, contrails from aircraft, or even lenticular clouds, which can look quite striking. Depending on the lighting conditions, you might also be seeing the effects of sunset or sunrise giving color to those shapes.
If you can provide more details about the colors or formation of the shapes in your photos, that might help narrow it down! You might also consider checking local weather reports from that evening to see if any unusual atmospheric conditions were present.
