    It can be seen in the Mysterious Swamp and the Plains Road Random encounter, as well.

    It looks like a 2D celestial object with a bad texture. Or perhaps a blank texture so it is not yet revealed what it is...

    Perhaps it is a dralthi (that's going back a long way, if I remember the name correctly).

    Perhaps it is SotA World's version of Santa Claus.

    Perhaps it is Lord British in his spaceship...

    Darkstarr: "Hah! Lord British, look at my custom made airship!"
    Lord British: "Hey, Darktstarr, look at my custom made spaceship."
    Darkstarr: "Curse you, British, you're always one up on me!"
    Lord British: "Of course I'm always one up on you. I'm the boss."

    Appears to be one of the Celestial bodies. Witnessed it eclipsing the Green planet (sorry don't know the planet lore enough to use the correct name - I'll just slip away in shame now).

    My personal speculation is that this is the object the light from the sun is pointed at. It's in an one hour orbit opposite the sun.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one looking at the sky these days. :)

    I'm happy to report that we finally tracked this down to a divide by zero in one of the sky shaders and should be resolved shortly!
