#sky vortex

Real question!

Does anyone else see a "rippling vortex" like thing when they look into a clear blue sky??

Just me???

Like, I'm not sure how to describe it.

It's like if Sauron's eye was made of rippling water and was an inny instead of an outy??

And is more of an oval up and down rather than side to side.

Also not as creepy... At least in my opinion. Kind of comforting actually. Like looking at the rippled reflection of a pool.

I've seen it all my life when I look up at a clear sky for more than a few seconds and the longer I look, the more defined it gets????

No matter who I talk to or what words I use when looking it up, I can't find anyone who knows what I'm talking about.

Like, I know mirages are a thing. Could it be like that? Is it an issue with my eye? My brain? Are my eyes really good and I'm actually seeing the atmosphere or some shit?

Idk, but I would love it if someone else knew what I was talking about.

I want to find like a professor or someone I can email to bridge the disconnect between "sky vortex" anecdotes and "form constant" scholarship so we can settle once and for all that the sky vortex is a form constant and maybe they can tell me if there's more information about this specific form constant. but i don't know the proper way to go about this.

even though I've spent so long watching the sky vortex I still can't think of how I'd try to draw it, because it's such a complex communication of shapes moving very fast
