Submission Statement:

This is a video I captured early in the morning on August 12, 2025, at around 5:20 AM over Edmonton, Alberta. I noticed a strange light formation in the sky that seemed to be reacting to being spotted, followed immediately by a very bizarre and unusual cloud structure. I wanted to share this here to see if any other researchers or locals in the area noticed the same aerial phenomenon or if someone has a logical explanation for these moving lights.

Finalized this physical 1-of-1 archive piece "SHADY RECORDS, I" for the D Abraham C Art Collection. Engineered the centerpiece with heavy, reflective glitter shards to manipulate ambient light depending on the room's angle, contrasting against raw street-art tagging.

Documenting the roots from the initial August 10, 1990 conceptual spark, through the September 12, 1996 foundation, right up to the upcoming July 1, 2026 Shady Records 2 milestone.

Let me know what you think of the handwritten archival dates mapped into the design under the purple setup. Respect the history.

Peace everyone,

Sharing a look at a finalized physical 1-of-1 archive piece titled "SHADY RECORDS, I" from the D Abraham C Art Collection.

The architecture of the piece focuses on the deep visual timeline of independent hip-hop culture, utilizing raw street-art graffiti typography and layered tags to document historical milestones directly onto the composition. Look closely beneath the layers to see the handwritten archival dates: August 10, 1990, September 12, 1996, and the upcoming July 1, 2026 Shady Records 2 milestone.

The center features an aggressive, heavy centerpiece using reflective glitter-shards to manipulate ambient lighting depending on the angle of the room, contrasting against the raw marker work.

Filmed this strange light formation in the early morning sky, followed by a very unusual cloud structure right after. Looking to see if anyone else in the area witnessed this or has an explanation for the light patterns.
