I think there's a clue as to it being a hat, it's a very faint outline which may be the circumference of the head hole / inner brim:

I forgot: the man accompanying the dame with the hat. Clearly not the person in the tower in the OP.

Please, don't look at photos and don't read things, if doing all these things are going to make you r c . I mean that in the nicest possible way. I never once said it was the same woman with the same hat. In fact l said the opposite - it wasn't that hat The woman is wearing a dress. The woman in OP is not wearing a dress. And it is a woman, not a man. That much is evident from the photo itself as well as my memory (you seem to forget that l was actually there and lived and breathed the continuity throughout all scenes). The woman in that OP isn't even wearing shorts like the man is. Also it's better to not just ignore what was said about the hat, e.g.: Further: - Note that l actually went to the trouble of showing the woman with the hat. I'm being objective. Not trying to throw my daily wobbly online. - Holding a hat would deform the disc, but the disc of this hat seems ideal (l refuse to use the word "perfect") - A hat would need a hole for the head - And again, note that if it's a planar object like a hat brim, it presents too perfectly, there's no skewing of perspective. It would be both a ideal circle, and perfectly perpendicular. I would be inclined to say instead that it is a sphere, a sphere would present an ideal circle no matter the viewing angle, see below: Easier to just ignore what's been said and throw a wobbly, right? Avoid photos and words if you're like that.

It’s not the woman holding the hat in your original image, it’s the man you show with her in your other photo wearing the light blue top and dark blue shorts. It’s all there in the first (and most accurate representation) image. You won’t improve on the truthfulness of your photo my manipulating colours, brightness etc. It already shows the man’s light blue shoulder, dark blue trousers and a white hat perfectly clearly. And not surprising he’s holding the hat if that windy. Trust in reality. All the rest is bo**ox. I really don’t know why I bothered replying to this. I agree with you, Rob, must get a life. Jerry

My posts are about a fictional character named Nikolai Faraginov - a stooge of continental ogre Jamie Crap-TIn - who gets £millions shunted to him via proxy financiers (it's more likely £billions) and with that cash he can ship poor people in on dinghies so as to trigger public outrage and old Problem? ---> Solution, the solution being Faraginov, the rebel stockbroker (isn't that an oxymoron?) who's supposedly going to end the NWO and globalism, by er ... forming a new world order of Crap-tin aligned skinheads around the globe. To foment disorder in rich countries by attacking police and poor people rather than insisting poor people get same money for goods and same wages in their home countries, as in the richer nations. A new order of skinheads doing it all on behalf of billionaire financiers. Who do everything on behalf of Jamie Crap-Tin. It works because nobody in their right minds would want the crappy poor people washing up here in dinghies .... but two wrongs do not make a right. Anyway this is just a novella and no bearing on real events.

Note: if you take the OP image, and turn down the brightness (my main monitor is dim) you can see it has blatant shading, as if it is indeed, to an extent, reflecting light, i.e. it's an inanimate object, not incandescent.

That looks like my hat, it fell off yesterday in a gust of wind.

interesting. But what about the perfect angle of the disc? As if it were a sphere? If it were a supernatural object, maybe my high shutter speed caught it, it must have been at least 1/1000s if not faster. Also, people don't tend to wash hats. Especially straw hats, which it would have been were it a hat. However, continued phopsphorescence of an inanimate object is definitely scientifically grounded. I just don't feel the object could have been a hat. As for my camera's sensitivity, it was a pro-sumer product in its time and as you can see, the shot covers the a wide range of colours and intensities. I was using a standard sRGB colour space, which is used to standardise the representation of colours across electronic devices.

If you want a scientific answer, how about persistent luminescence from a hat that has been washed in a detergent with luminescent ingredients, which most have. Think discos. That can last for tens of minutes after exposure to UV light and will be accentuated by the relative darkness inside the tower. You did say the day was the hottest one of the year when levels were 7-9 (high to very high), and whilst not necessarily at maximum, there would have been a fair degree of exposure to UV getting there. You also have to consider the light sensor response curves for various wavelengths if the camera tries to compensate for these or has a sweet spot for maximum enhancement when capturing the image. Note to self. Need a life.

Another thing that piques me: Note how well formed the disc of the object is. Seen at my side-on angle, it conforms well to an ellipse draw in one of my art programs (in this instance, Pinta) - see attachment. So, was this a flat object that caught me perfectly side on as if it were perched at a perfect 90 degree angle to the stone bench, so as to present a perfect disc to me? As opposed to a skewed disc that a hat slouching on a bench would present? Or ... was it a sphere? A sphere presents a perfect disc no matter the angle.

Well, as l explained over chess, l'm into music, l recently spent good money on some choir samples to use in my own productions (male, female and childrens' choirs). I can appreciate a human voice from the shrieking winds, but note: I heard the male voices singing in unison at the height of the wind shrieking (if l remember correctly). I didn't go up there expecting any of this. As l say, l am not into Christianity, mystic Christianity, or New Age. I am spiritual though, l believe in God.

Hi there, some more images. The one in the OP is at 10am, as is the final image in this post. I too am skeptical of others' paranormal experiences except when they align with what l have experienced. I actually made this post to seek out explanations. So: 1. Hat: i) The image showing the lady with the hat: I think she was the only such lady. ii) The winds at the top, though veeeery welcome, were quite gusty and they took my own hat off but l had one with a chin strap. That was a relatively calm day; in a gale l can imagine being blown all the way to Oz. It's a no-hat zone. iii) I don't think that object was a hat. Note how it's too bright, and how it has a veined pattern on the intensified edit. Also look at the immediate entryway, that is nowhere near as bright as the hat, yet it is reflecting the sky, perhaps the stone is less reflective than a bright straw hat, l don't know. iv) However, note the position: the object is clearly sat on top of a stone bench, as if it indeed were a hat. So l'm open to it being something, placed on the bench. 2. Sunbeam: i) the edges are too sharp, a sunbeam would be more diffuse ii) you'd think the sunbeam would highlight the deeply-grooved (what's the word?) stonework of the tower walls. iii) Also, as l say, the sun could not penetrate that far down, we're not in the tropics - the sun would have to be directly overheard to shine all the way down to the floor of the tower. I've included a photo of the top of the tower - you can see how far the sun was coming down. I was photoing almost everything l could set my sights on.

I agree with Jerry; it's a hat.

Lest we forget 2025's Fiverr job, [my post edited for lawsuit-proofing]

"Leader" is a relative term in that farrago of Freudian mind residuals that is the far right:

We mustn't fixate on that now - look, a timely new death threat! Almost looks like something he could have purchased on Fiverrr. He did one thing especially well: Location, Location, Location (Folkestone ... you know?).

A rare and historically important silver dirham struck during the reign of al-Walid I (705–715 AD), one of the most influential rulers of the Umayyad Caliphate. This coin is dated AH 93 (711–712 AD) and was minted at Surraq, a lesser-known but significant mint associated with early Islamic administrative and economic activity. https://coinsnantiques.com/collection/umayyad-al-walid-i-ar-dirham-surraq-mint-ah-93/

Best way is to avoid ebay. Don't feed the beast, as they aren't open minded. By their own admission they don't have enough experts to remove claimed fakes, so have to rely on alternative opinions. Given Barton's metal is a gold leaf bound to a copper substrate, it is virtually impossible to get sufficient metal flow of the gold when cutting the blank from the sheet to completely cover the copper edge as seen above on my halfcrown. The smaller the denomination, the easier it will become due to thickness, but punching equipment isn't renowned for producing perfect blanks, and not required, given the coin with be struck with a collar to stop the metal flowing sideways. It isn't impossible to get some gold on the edge, but perfectly covered? Not in my opinion, though others may choose to differ.

Yes, most certainly a worn die. And a truly shocking price which would be way too high even for a good strike UNC example. Here's a much better example at a reasonable price: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/157378763239?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338946167&toolid=20006&loc=&customid=4581527531114051_710033490_o.9beeaa501cf11ef92efac014f4958c05&msclkid=9beeaa501cf11ef92efac014f4958c05

Nor can you get a satisfactory explanation for his leader's £5m bung!

Some years ago the music industry changed over to digital, and invented this thing called a 'compact disc'. The CD partly shown in the picture is clearly of a small male choir singing a single note...

Looks to me like someone standing to the left of the window holding a panama hat beside their bum. Jerry

I am naturally very sceptical of reported supernatural experiences. The crescent in the side of the picture could be a stray light beam, a common anomaly, particularly when using a telephoto lens. The singing voices could be a breeze striking a resonant note in the upper reaches of the tower. I was not there, so I cannot confirm one way or another. However, I appreciate that for some the presence of supernatural forces is important to their way of viewing life, and if such experiences help them make sense of this crazy world, then good for them!

I've been looking for a MS 1916 for a while as an upgrade to my AU58, the bottom coin. Finally I see one on Ebay Top coin. When I looked carefully at the coin I was truly unimpressed. Although the coin looks to be mint state from the patina but the strike quality lets it down badly. The reverse is similar. Like they say judge the coin not the attributed grade.

For as long as I have been on this planet and certainly in the past 5 and a half decades, Glastonbury has had more than its fair share of weirdos. From the nobility to the peasantry, it has somehow found itself bound into an annual religious schedule. Just the latest incarnation of the out of mind experience seemingly required by a group of questionable sanity. I blame the son of the then Marquis of Bath for being an integral part of the ensuing chaos, with his wifelets and copious quantities of dope. Those attracted to Stonehenge invariably made their way down to Worthy Farm for the music a couple days after the summer solstice. I could never understand why many didn't wear shoes, given the levels of dogs**t on the pavements in those days. And passing through prime agricultural land, the chance of being hit by a flying cowpat was high. Moving to the current day, you may have dodged a bullet, as it would have been quite possible for Trump to make an appearance too, given his position as President, God, and a total belief in all things narcissistic. I heard he had gained copyright over the word Trump. The strange sounds you could hear was probably his personal choir of disciples, perfecting their flatulence for his appearance as God at this year's non-festival.
