I made a blender model and animation of this thing I experienced to show how it looks like and moves, and to use that as a way to find out if someone knows what it is, where or why. I don’t know much more and am wondering what others know based on their encounters. It’s somewhere at some time, seems huge. The discs are flattish and don’t reflect light other than from the edges. I’ve tried posting in a few communities and get mostly aggravated answers, or overtly focusing on how I got this knowledge (almost like I’ve done something forbidden when it’s not an aspect I care about), and one got modded hidden.

      That has been mentioned a couple of times in the other communities and I see the analogy. I can’t tell if the size is of a space station or a moon or a planet. What would it be gyroscoping

        What you have animated in a gimbal. Gyroscopes are often mounted on gimbals to demonstrate how they resist changes to their axis of rotation. This is why many people associate gimbals with gyroscopes. I guess many people don’t know the term gimbal, or have forgotten it.

        Anyway, as I said in a top-level comment, you should look up “gimbal lock” which is what happens when all the rings of the gimbal end up in the same plane.
