I don't think I'm crazy...

...but I may be wrong. I have had other people confirm what I'm seeing so hopefully I'm not, but they might have just been being poilite :D

For I don't know quite how long I've been watching flying 'objects' crossing through or past Riiki. They go at a fair speed and something about the way they look from every angle and the fact I can't select them (though this might just be their speed and my ineptitude) suggests that they're particles.

I've tried to follow them to their source on several occasions but usually lost them - the closest I've got it the mountainside in Quat (149,56,70) which is Linden land. They then pass through Ambat or Riiki, heading south to north - either way, they're visible from my land in Riiki (180,59,21 - stand there and look out to sea for a while and you'll see them - assuming it's a view distance thing and not the me-being-crazy thing). My neighbours and I (the ones who don't think I'm crazy) agree that they're ugly, annoying, and spoiling the view, and thus 'disturbing the peace' -

From: someone
objects that intentionally [...] inhibit another Resident's ability to enjoy Second Life are examples of Disturbing the Peace


I know I should bug report this, but I don't know whether it's an update-related bug, or a resident-created thing, and I'd really appreciate some help from someone with The Powers who can answer that and advise me. I'm honestly being driven to distraction by seeing these things fly virtually past my nose every 10 seconds.

I know if it's a resident created thing you can't outright stop it - but please, please can you find out what it is, so if it's an update thing I can just breathe deeply for a little while longer, or else I can find the source and abuse report it if necessary?

Save my brain please kind Lindens..?

Hello Erin. This was an annoying bug that has been corrected in a recent update.
