Skywatching

File:ＬＯＣＡＬ５８ － Skywatching

Skywatching is the eighth uploaded entry in the Local 58 video series, and takes place third in the overall timeline. The episode takes the form of a late night broadcast that is hijacked by someone's own broadcast.

Synopsis

The episode begins with Local 58's late night schedule, displaying that the next program will be a show called "Skywatching." The show then begins, but quickly gets hijacked by a program claiming to be the previous show.

During the hijacked broadcast, the camera pans to the asterism named Orion's belt located in the constellation of Orion and The Pleiades inside the constellation of Taurus in the sky and displays their names accordingly, before panning to the moon and displaying the text, "HIS THRONE." The camera operator then removes the lens on the camera and switches to another lens to show a close-up view of the moon.

The surface of the moon looks abnormal, almost like flesh, and it has clouds of lunar dust moving on it as if wind was blowing them. The lens is switched out again to give the viewers an even closer view of the moon, and once again to reveal that the lunar dust is being sucked into a crater. The lens is switched out once more to display an even closer view of the moon, revealing a strange pattern in the middle of a crater, and an arrow pointing downward.

The Moon in it's possibly "true form" at the end of Skywatching.

The crater fades out, and the camera zooms out to reveal that all the moon appears to be gone. The lens is switched on more time, and as soon it is, the moon suddenly reappears with a strange noise, this time much bigger and brighter in the sky with strange formations, while an off screen Federal Signal Thunderbolt siren sounds. The camera operator visibly turns down the brightness on his camera to better display the moon before walking out in front of the camera and holding his hands up toward the moon. Only one word is displayed: "REJOICE."

Theories

There appears to be a skeletal structure on the dark side of the moon. Here are a few theories of what this could be/mean:

• The moon was an “egg” and was hatching a skeletal being.
• The moon could manipulate its surface and created a shape that resembles a human being kneeling or praying (demanding to be worshiped).
• The moon had been taken over by aliens and was being used as a way to communicate/terrorize humanity.
• The moon is an organic being- (The lunar dust being sucked into the crater)
