   TESS is a space telescope that orbits between the Earth and Moon.   
   Originally it was intended to spot planetary transits in the ~6000   
   target stars it was assigned when the mission took off in 2018.  But   
   its unusual orbit also might provide a useful platform to spot "other   
   things" that might be moving around in the extreme foreground.  If   
   there are things moving in the space between the earth and moon then a   
   telescope that has taken mns of images over the past few years   
   should have a fair chance of seeing something -- if only a slight blip   
   in the light curve of one of the target stars that has nothing to do   
   with orbiting planets.   
      
   After analysing around 16 mn images various patterns have turned up.   
   There are anomalous dimming and brightening of stars to spare.   
   Other groups processing the data no doubt throw these "one off" events   
   away because they have no relevance to their interests.   
      
   But the anomalies tend not to be isolated to single stars -- it's   
   quite usual that stars in large parts of the sky brighten and dim   
   roughly together -- almost as if something had briefly passed between   
   the telescope and that region of the sky.   
      
   If you compare reports of unusual activity in the sky over the US and   
   Canada there are dozens of sequences that show as highly statistically   
   correlated. For certain types of phenomena stars mostly dim in unison when   
   that kind of events has a brief maximum. For other types of phenomena stars   
   in a region of the sky tend to briefly brighten when phenomena of that kind   
   reach a maximum.   
      
   And, more interestingly, if you lag the light curves by between -10   
   days and +10 days you find there are generally 2 values where "strange   
   activity" has the best match against the light curve.  It seems a   
   usual case sees the light curve twitch in some part of the sky a few   
   days before "strange activity" is reported on Planet Dirt.  Then a   
   few days after the activity is reported the light curve in approx the   
   same part of the sky twitched again in much the same way it did the   
   first time.   
      
   It's almost as if "something" came from a certain direction in space,   
   had a nice little visit, then departed again back along the same route.   
      
   While the full catalogue is getting rather long and tedious for mere   
   humans to comprehend, a micro sample is here    
   showing reports of "flying Triangles with a red light" (the green curve)   
   versus the light curve of stars in a certain 10x10 deg section of the sky   
   as seen from TESS somewhere between E and M during the period 2018-2022.   
      
   We can see the bump in the green curve corresponds fairly closely with   
   a big dip in the kight curve over the same period.   
      
   It seems various types of aerial phenomena characteristically twitch the   
   light curve in certain parts of the sky. Phenomena described as "dark"   
   generally cause the light curve to dip; phenomena described as   
   "bright" cause the light curve to rise sharply over a short period as   
   (presumably) the relevant phenomena pass between the relevant star and   
   the TESS cameras.   
      
   Each stats model is tested for high significance in the usual 2 ways and   
   represent events that are less than 1 chance in 1000 possible due to just   
   lucky coincidence.
