Very nice. Unfortunately, the solar eclipse didn't happen where I live but I've seen pictures of it.

Either that's an optical illusion caused by the pattern seeking function of the brain cheating a few cloud and water features into the apparent shadow disk in order to see the regular polygon, or....

The eclipse is just a cover story so the pentagon scientists can perform another one of their ritual openings of a portal to the hell realms in time to allow the demons to send out new campaign ideas and speeches for the upcoming campaign season, or...

It's a swarm of drones converging on single "high value target" as a result of a coding error by an operator at CentCom and there is nothing to see here, if you know what's good for you.
