Quote from: -lines-Common sense would dictate that if they were air elementals, you would see them in places other than when you are looking into the sky. For example, you could see them while looking in a room because air is in there too. They are visible while you look into the sky because it provides the intensity of light that you need in order to properly see them. I see them while looking at the snow all the time, which there is a lot of here and this is because of the brightness of the snow.
I'm not convinced that they are only there a storm is around or when it is raining. I have seen them without there being a cloud in the sky.
BTW milkyway, if they pop in and out, how do you determine that they are independent of your sight? They come and go too quickly to track one after I move my eyes quickly.
I've seen them for up to 40 seconds straight at one time. Although, I haven't seen them for awhile now. Last time they were converging over my head which leads me to believe we may be talking about two different things.
