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.
Hi. I’ll be your “that guy” today. It’s “axes” pronounced “ax-eez”, not “axii”.
explanation
“Axis” is from Greek, and the general rule is that singular “-is” becomes “-ēs” in the plural, which happens to apply here. We don’t usually write the overline when it’s adopted into English, so “axes”, but with a Greek-derived pronunciation.
The rule you’re thinking of is that Latin “-ius” usually becomes “-ii”, but Latin or not, there’s no “u”, so we should avoid using that rule here.
I was rewriting the word so many times I couldn’t trust the word in any form anymore :D
