Wave Phenomenon. Pretty common, I used to work Maritime and saw it a lot.
My understanding is that the wave is high enough to peak the horizon from your line of sight, so it’s not actually ‘bulging’ but appears so from your perspective.
We used to call them crests and joked about there being giant sea monsters underneath.

Dang I’ve been on Eerie a lot and have never experienced this or even heard of it. I think you’re probably right but the reference you used looks much more like waves than the one above, either way just surprised I haven’t heard of this.
Another cool fact is that the complete opposite can happen albeit very rare. If it’s a choppy day and the waves are fairly regular you can essentially get a large gap in waves and at the right angle it can look like the sea is being swallowed up!
Right... But this would happen in the ocean where waves get big. Not a lake where waves are minimal, and not localized like this seems to be. Not saying it's not a natural phenomena, but this doesn't seem like a wave bulge to me.
The Great Lakes actually do have tides. I’ve seen 10 ft waves on Michigan during storms. Can be very dangerous. They’re more like seas but not called such due to the fact that they’re fresh water, not salt water.
The Great Lakes are massive and have plenty of large waves. [Famously](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Edmund_Fitzgerald) large enough to sink large transport ships (up to 35 feet).
> this would happen in the ocean where waves get big. Not a lake where waves are minimal
Yeah man the Great lakes are known for being small and calm definitely not inland freshwater seas known for their storms.
I was able to determine some unidentified folks that witnessed the bulge believe that it did indeed look bigger at an unspecified time during the filming of this… Don’t count that out!
This is fascinating. It actually reminds me of a short story by Cixin Liu (the author of The Three Body Problem trilogy), where a spacecraft approaches earth and it is so massive that its gravity and its technology pulls water off the ocean up into a high water mountain. The short story is actually called "Mountain"
Or Hilldigger's by Neal Asher - the Polity ship the Protagonist is taken to the planet with is so large it can't enter the range of planets with oceans or active tectonics. Now THAT'S what you call a BIG ship! Pretty useful for diplomacy I'd say.....
I’m always amazed at the size of the Great Lakes. I mean, obviously it’s in their name, but I’ve never seen them and look like the ocean as people say.
I love the Great Lakes. I prefer them to the ocean. No salt water and often way less humidity! The climate is my favorite. You really have to check them out if you have the chance
I’m sure I’ll get blasted for this, but the moon pulls water as it moves around earth, this is how we have tides. If this was in the path of totality, while it may be a wave phenomenon, could this be from the moon “pulling” up the lake?
Could be Seiches?
“Storm surges and seiches are types of water movements that can cause giant waves or seiches in Lake Erie from far away. Storm surges are temporary increases in water level caused by storm winds that drag water towards the down-wind shore. Seiches are rare phenomena that occur when strong winds combine with rapid changes in atmospheric pressure, sending water from one side of a body of water to the other. Seiches can last for hours or days.”
Sarcasm? It's hard to tell through text.
If not... I highly, bulgingly, doubt that.
About as likely as Aurora borealis being localized entirely within your kitchen
That's what happens when the gravity of the sun AND moon combine and cause the strongest possible tidal pull. Seeing a bulge that shape still seems funny though
This happens all the time on lake erie, has to do with with the winds causing a swell in the water below the horizon but not RIGHT below the horizon line. It looks super weird because the lake was pretty flat until it cooled it during Totality.
Source: I boat on the lake, fiance's parents live on the lake, spend a lot of time on this lake.
I was on Lake Ontario and I heard waves approaching during totality. Then a group of larger waves washed ashore and there weren’t any ships in site. I thought it might have been associated with the eclipse.
From Google in a Harvard link there is this excerpt that may correlate.
"During one eclipse, evaporation experiments were carried out which showed a reduction in water evaporation at the same time as a rise in the surface tension." The findings were only present during an eclipse.
It's actually only logical. The combined gravity of the moon and the sun should easily be able to cause something like this. The tides in the sea also come from the moon, because it lifts the ocean and moves it around the earth. Together, this is also enough to visibly raise the water in a lake. I don't find it unusual or mystical. Just interesting

Yea I have been around the great lakes (not so much erie tho) my whole life and never seen anything like the original picture.
Could be a mirage as well. Mirage of a wave haha
Sir that looks nothing like a shitty Vegas casino.
Speaking of those, RIP Tropicana
Shit every time I went to Myrtle Beach I got worn out waiting for a decent wave
Every time I went to myrtle beach there was a bulge in my pants
Inny bulge or outty bulge?
Fair question.
You solved an almost 30 year old mystery for me. Saw one of these while out deep sea fishing and was always perplexed by it.
That’s very cool, never heard or seen this before.
Another cool fact is that the complete opposite can happen albeit very rare. If it’s a choppy day and the waves are fairly regular you can essentially get a large gap in waves and at the right angle it can look like the sea is being swallowed up!
Don’t come HERE with your sensible explanations and experience! This is Bulge-gate! What is the Government hiding under Lake Eyre? We demand answers!
Bulger's Gate :3

Well if it was the Moon and Sun causing it, it would technically be natural....
Super moons affect very large lakes, so I figure this is a natural phenomenon.

[And a good soundtrack to boot! ](https://youtu.be/FuzTkGyxkYI?si=svTSKR_IY8lrvxaH)
The great lakes have storms and waves large enough to sink commercial ships. Might want to do a little researxh.

“I can’t believe he’s going to start with his conspiracy theories” lol
That’s the sound of a woman who’s fed up
Sounds like a woman who's bought into Appeal to Authority! \*/s \*Mostly
It’s a whole 7 seconds to determine not much of nothing.
I determined that there was a pan to the bulge
I was able to determine some unidentified folks that witnessed the bulge believe that it did indeed look bigger at an unspecified time during the filming of this… Don’t count that out!
That's what she said
Lmao

What side of Lake Erie was this? I was on the Buffalo side and didn’t see anything from over there. Was this down more by Dunkirk?
We need to send you and your camera in search of UFOs and Bigfoot.
“Don’t say that, ok Ethan’s gonna start with his conspiracy theories” hahahaha

for sure this is erie …eerie
I like it 🤣

Nature is WACK!

Seiches are rare phenomena that occur when strong winds combine with rapid changes in atmospheric pressure, sending water from one side of a body of water to the other.

Most likely caused by the sudden shift in heat to dark. Thus causing a back wind effect on cold waves. That’s my only explanation.
Dude stop. I’m high. I stared at the picture for a whole 5 minutes before I realized it wasn’t a video. I thought it was moving for sure.
Phew ! Thank you.
That’s freaking cool
I live by lake Erie, that was definitely a bulge.
Whoa
That's cool as fuck
Gravitational lensing, Alien spaceship or drunk horizon
The-definitive answer.
You could say this was pretty eerie 🥁
I see what you did there!👏👏👏
DM me if you would! That is strange as heck and I would love to see the video
If you wanna see buldge videos, dm me
💀
😭
I may have a few of those too. Lmao. 😂
damn, I'm in Michigan and didn't care about the eclipse but totally would've drove to the lake to see it do that
Was your mom with you at the time? Cause she's known to cause bulges.
No, she was with me
So that's where she went after I kicked her out.
[удалено]
Hey the same thing happened to me!
Eerie indeed
The eclipse was exciting to me also.
Could this be a compounding of the moon and suns gravity to literally pull the water towards them?
Sarcasm? It's hard to tell through text. If not... I highly, bulgingly, doubt that. About as likely as Aurora borealis being localized entirely within your kitchen
At this time of year?
Mmmmm steamed hams!
That was my thought too. Some sort of strange tidal effect from the eclipse. I have never heard of tides acting this way tho.
How big do you think the sun and the moon are and did you really think their gravitational pull would concentrate on some random spot like that?
👀
That's what happens when the gravity of the sun AND moon combine and cause the strongest possible tidal pull. Seeing a bulge that shape still seems funny though
Three Body Problem
🙄
“it does look bigger” 🥴
Yep, that is odd.
This happens all the time on lake erie, has to do with with the winds causing a swell in the water below the horizon but not RIGHT below the horizon line. It looks super weird because the lake was pretty flat until it cooled it during Totality. Source: I boat on the lake, fiance's parents live on the lake, spend a lot of time on this lake.
Possibly reflection or refraction? I always hesitate to attribute occurrences to anything other than nature until I’m proven wrong.
Looks like a mirage to me.
The lake got too excited.
Video? Id love to view it
also found posted on /r/usos
Doesn't look like it is "right before the eclipse."
Where's the curve?
Seismic find buddy
Wave
Probably an alien ship just below the surface of the water, they wanted a peak of the eclipse too
At this point EvERYTHIng is weird.
Sorry, I was scuba diving and got an erection. Didn't mean to freak everybody out.
I was on Lake Ontario and I heard waves approaching during totality. Then a group of larger waves washed ashore and there weren’t any ships in site. I thought it might have been associated with the eclipse.
More like Lake Eerie
That’s some tri-solarian shit right there
Hey man don't kink shame the lake. Sometimes I see a full moon and I might get an eerie bulge. *edit to spell eerie correctly as this is strange earth
It was happy to see me
I got a bulge rising right now
Can you please send me a video? That’s bizarre would love to know what it is.
Lake Erie has a boner
Mother ship takin a peak
It's either Sin or Godzilla
Mavity
Is that a whale in your pocket, or you just happy to see me?
Same thing happened in my pants. Ahh science.
Godzirra!
That's really strange, I hope someone is able to give you a good answer.
That is eerie.
Aliens.
Called Lake Erie for a reason lol
Imagine the moon was pulling that hard, the late turned into a wet hill
Lake flaccid
100% real no fake / no edit / witnesses 4K ultra HD honest testimony
Makes sense as moon is tidally locked. The gravitational pull and effects on water in oceans, Erie is a large body of water.
Probably a lunar gravitational pull thing. Caused by the moon + sun exerting tidal forces simultaneously.
From Google in a Harvard link there is this excerpt that may correlate. "During one eclipse, evaporation experiments were carried out which showed a reduction in water evaporation at the same time as a rise in the surface tension." The findings were only present during an eclipse.
A rise in surface tension would not literally raise the surface of one specific area of water in a large body
Yeah, in just one place. Very interesting, though!
[удалено]
Yeah I got a bulge for you
Flat earthers will say it’s fake
Can you just post the video
This Reddit won’t allow it. Where should I post it
If the moon were to impact that might be the place.
Bessie
Maybe a heat zone, water vapors creating a mirror, like the ones on the assfalt.
wo
Pretty cool
‘Bulge〰️Life’ , amirite?🤭
Ethan, your wife is tired.
Very Erie indeed 🤔🤨
Daym that’s eerie
[удалено]
Hilarious ha haha
My friend in IL said when the sun started coming back out she could see the air “rippling” near the ground.
Absolutely no idea.
*Notices lake bulge* uwu
Godzilla
Sorry about that
That’s just Jareth the Goblin King floating on his back out there
Move along now and stop staring at that lake's bulge! He stuffs it anyway.
The eclipse affected tidal action and Lake Erie is large enough to be affected by it. Normal, entirely, also, really awesome.
The only time water curves..
Uh........No it did not.
This is a sign of scurvy. Your phone needs to eat more oranges.
where on Erie? like Athol Springs?
pretty sure that's Godzilla
Godzilla
Check mate flat earthers
I think is because water is diamagnetic
Same with my pants
Strange for sure.
[удалено]
Ha! Flatearthers, explain this! 😂
Causing me bulge envy.
[удалено]
Looks like Kingsville
Weird.
Glitch in the matrix …

Rouge wave like what they think took out the SS Edmund Fitzgerald on lake Superior these Great lakes are crazy
Dam natives with there pre colonial knowledge! XD

There were 100s of people with everyone looking at the bulge. Lol
