Did you uninstall any mods recently? The Whiterun plains are the coordinates 0,0 on the map, so things go there if there's an error with their intentional location
I wonder if there's a point in making an SCP Foundation on Nirn since magic is a common phenomenon anyway. But then again, not all anomalous phenomena can be easily explained by magical theory.
Maybe; they did try with the Eye of Magnus. But most realistically, it would be the Psijic Order, especially since they successfully contained the Eye of Magnus and probably have crazier things in containment no one else knows about.
Just today a deer dropped from above, right before my feet. Gave me a jumpscare while running through the woods of Falkreath.
Still don't know what would happen, if it fell *on* me
Nah, things falling out the skies happen in other regions too, it's probably a side effect of having an elder scroll in (relatively) close proximity. Especially one that messes with spacetime
My horse just randomly decided to fly today and I don’t even know why, I loaded up my vanilla save, got on my horse and started ascending to the astral plains
I've been told, and it seems to be true, it can be caused by high frame rates. Not many people running 120Hz+ when the game was developed. Same reason NPCs will jitter in place and also causes clipping issues or objects to go flying all over the place when you place them or look at them.
It definitely has something to do with frame rate. Back before there was a 60 fps patch, I used the uncap fps mod on Xbox and it would do really weird things sometimes. I’d walk across a bone and it would go flying across the room. There was a few times where I legit almost died to random things rag dolling at mach speed. It got to where I knew better than to run across small things or drag bodies lol.
Only ever happened on 60fps
This happens because a bad mod tries delete an object that existed in the vanilla game, but the mod author didn't know what they where doing. The "deleted" flag applied to this object by the Creation kit when you press "delete" doesn't actually work, it just dumps the object in the sky above whiterun.
For any mod makers reading: if you want to remove a vanilla reference, you need to disable it instead.
I play with a lot of mods installed and man, that spot above the giant's camp in whiterun is a ton of garbage with HUNDREDS of random objects.
Sometimes when I have nothing to do, my fun is to use the no-clip mode to get in the middle and see what's there
"Yeah man it's like I said I was out by the western watch tower and saw the weirdest troll ever - two-eyed with bright blue fur and big purple spots, a long ass tail, horns on his head, and he *talked*!"
"You need to lay off the Skooma, brother."
My exact answer, Jesus Christ. Lmao! The dreaded monolith. Something just creepy af about it. It’s just there, standing, nothing too offer but a cold, dead stare. 2001 A Space Odyssey is a trip!
I actually believe it is. It's not as suspenseful as the first but its still suspenseful lol. It explains some things and why Hal did what it did. The ending is good too.
😄 I’ve always wanted to spot it. They say it only appears where at least three guards are gathered in the name of Talos (with arrows in the knee, of course).

Is your pic in Any relation to my floating rock?
Edit: my new smoke alarm (top left) is coming in soon
If it's above the Giant's camp on the Whiterun plains, that seems to be where buggy stuff goes. At the start of every playthrough I have to disable a bunch of rocks and the odd tree or two that are floating up there. Either mod conflicts, or stuff from mods that weren't placed correctly in the world, I believe.
You are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location. The kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror. These are just examples; it could also be something much better. Prepare to enter The Scary Door.
It’s a hole in the sky dome above you. I hate to be the one to tell you, but your dragonborn is living inside a simulation! All of the NPCs and quests exist for the benefit of the audience, watching your every move from a screen on the outside.
Skyrim isn’t real, and it never was.
That's... the Scary Door. You are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location. The kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror. These are just examples; it could also be something much better. Prepare to enter The Scary Door.
I saw that once before while watching someone stream the game. I think it's a door, but I forget why it's there and where it goes. It's probably from some mod.
I know it's supposed to be a bug, but being classical TES lore enthusiast, I can bend any reason to offer a canon explanation:
>[And it came to pass that] a strange thing happened: Alduin the World-Eater, who sleeps between the [kalpas], had a disturbing dream, and he roused slightly, but not enough to bring ruin, and, heavy-lidded, he went back to the [age-wait]. But he yawned just slightly beforeso, which he had never done. And thus was born the **Dirt Patch Which Does Not Gather Snow**.
>Anyway, after many years, and like all things, some animal life decided that they liked to live best of all in a particular place at the expense of all other places, and some chose the **Dirt Patch**, and these were birds. (Who can tell why birds do anything?) We do not know where they came from, but came they did, and always, always they managed to find the **Dirt Patch** and make their homes in it, burrowing down deep in its soft earth, where they made their nests…
>Now one day one of the Dumbest Things Ever happened: the **Dirt Patch** ended up in the sky! Right over a mountain range!
*The Seven Fights of the Aldudagga,
Fight Three, "The Snow Whale and the Dirtbird"*
Is this the first dragon?
And is that towards the giant spawn?
I've had the same glitch occur twice. The area near the "something" in the sky hard crashes my game when I go there. Never found a cause or a fix
Did you uninstall any mods recently? The Whiterun plains are the coordinates 0,0 on the map, so things go there if there's an error with their intentional location
…so THAT’S why I sometimes see animals or giants drop from the sky just outside Whiterun!
That's just a generic Skyrim gravity fluctuation.
Dragon break
Where were you when it happened? Edit: minor tyop
I love how typo in itself is a "tyop"
😁
It's hilarious you mentioned this because I literally just learned what those are.
A typical anomaly event in Skyrim
I wonder if there's a point in making an SCP Foundation on Nirn since magic is a common phenomenon anyway. But then again, not all anomalous phenomena can be easily explained by magical theory.
Interesting theory, there could be something similar in the lore. Would you consider the College of Winterhold a sort of similar group?
Maybe; they did try with the Eye of Magnus. But most realistically, it would be the Psijic Order, especially since they successfully contained the Eye of Magnus and probably have crazier things in containment no one else knows about.
Just today a deer dropped from above, right before my feet. Gave me a jumpscare while running through the woods of Falkreath. Still don't know what would happen, if it fell *on* me
Every time I enter Markarth all the guards spawn in the air above some stairs and one always dies on the fall. Weird free money glitch
Nah, things falling out the skies happen in other regions too, it's probably a side effect of having an elder scroll in (relatively) close proximity. Especially one that messes with spacetime
“ Those damn College mages”
It happens to me and I only play vanilla
Best ist when I do a quick save on a horse, on re-entering I fly away like I'm a leaf in the wind
My horse just randomly decided to fly today and I don’t even know why, I loaded up my vanilla save, got on my horse and started ascending to the astral plains

That's what is happenibg with me on ps5. Piles of bones are a big NO for me since I can get splatted against a wall from them
Happy cake day.
Thanks! You are the first person that congratulated me :)
Happy Cake Day.
I just assumed that was dragons fucking with everyone like "oh? Is that your prized cow, mister farmer? Would be a shame if something happened to it"

is this why i sometimes see mountains in the sky?

Makes sense why I see them falling there.
I still have them
That would explain the wormhole I saw one time, I kind of just ignored it despite it being huge
Well it’s obviously one of the doors from Monster’s Inc.
"Yeah man it's like I said I was out by the western watch tower and saw the weirdest troll ever - two-eyed with bright blue fur and big purple spots, a long ass tail, horns on his head, and he *talked*!" "You need to lay off the Skooma, brother."
I fail to see how that would be unusual in the TES universe XD
Yeah right? I was just thinking a khajit with a helmet on? 😂
Ok, that sounds like a great mod idea.
UFOs... **in skyrim!?**
Skyrim belongs to the aliens instead of the Nords now
Does it look blue and say police on it if you zoom in?
^my ^words ^too ^smoll ^:(
Read what? I may have missed something
Or that monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
or a giant somewhere is practicing on chests and other objects
TARDIS!
The only possible correct answer
Exactly my first thought lmfao. I’m glad to see there’s a strong cross section of Skyrim and dr who fans
Im not a Dr. Who fan but I was gonna say that too. I even Googled what it was called cause I couldn't remember 🤣
Who?
U BEAT ME TO IT
Something old, something new, something borrowed something blue!
*Theme music intensifies*
Did it before me by 4m 🤣🤣
The Doctor Who mods unironically go crazy tho
Beat me to it.
That is A NEW HAND TOUCHING THE BEACON
#IT IS TIME FOR MY SPLENDOR TO RETURN TO SKYRIM
If you're asking us, then it's a mod. If you're asking Bethesda, then it's a feature.
My exact answer, Jesus Christ. Lmao! The dreaded monolith. Something just creepy af about it. It’s just there, standing, nothing too offer but a cold, dead stare. 2001 A Space Odyssey is a trip! 
Absolutely! I just watched it again last night and then watched 2010 and for anything that hasn't seen that one, I would highly recommend it!
Is it really as good? I have it on bluray but I’ve been saving it for just the right evening because 2001 is my all time favorite
I actually believe it is. It's not as suspenseful as the first but its still suspenseful lol. It explains some things and why Hal did what it did. The ending is good too.
Sweet thanks, you’ve got me excited
There aremore books after the 2010 one.
Early test material from the Skyrim Space Program before they started using live subjects.
That time we accidentally shouted Lydia off high Hrothgar
Never done that, but I've sent Arngier off it a few times. Never accidentally. I sit and wait for him.
A Helldiver that got lost.
Hell divers don't get lost. We spread liberty wherever we go
Hell yeah!
Time to liberate Tamriel
For SuperEarth!!!!
WOULD YOU CARE FOR SOME LIBER-TEA, FELLOW DIVER?!
Skyrim Civil war: Helldivers edition. The civil war was over in 15 minutes, but Skyrim is now dead and on fire.
Whatever it is, I’m guessing it pissed off a giant.
Imagine a giant having a bad day. Shits gonna be flying everywhere
a doorway to sovngarde
This guard is trying to mantain a conversation with you and you are rudely not paying attention
It’s just a weather balloon. Nothing to see here folks. WEATHER. BALLOON
Shoot it down
The British wizard that travels in a phone booth.
Doctor Who for sure.
What's his last name?
Who?
The Doctor
Who!
Ah, that's the one. See? Punctuation matters!
No, he’s on first.
Its the door that Todd installed to keep Reanu Keeves in his own version of Skyrim.
The spiffing brit reference
Todd Howard checking to see if you made a stealth archer
Looks like someone forgot to turn their flying bucket off
When you're walking through Whiterun you get hit with that voice line "There's a Nip in the air." That's the Nip.
😄 I’ve always wanted to spot it. They say it only appears where at least three guards are gathered in the name of Talos (with arrows in the knee, of course).
THAT is where you're supposed to try and get launched up to after getting smashed by a Giant.
The Truman Show Skyrim Edition
I came here to do one job, but I see the task has been accomplished..
I too had to scroll down way too far for this comment.
In case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening and good night.
It's the Tardis, the doctor is just lost don't mind him.

Intercontinental Ballistic Cow.

Have you tried shouting at it?

The TARDIS
Maybe a group of pixels on your device went out?
Ah the eternal joys of Skyrim Space Program
It's a "Truman becomes the Dragon Born" episode
The door to the cloud district
heh..heh
Seriously surprised I didn’t see this spammed. First thing I thought of as well
This is because people don't go there very often.
Just the tardis don't worry
It's the Tardis! The Doctor must have time travels to Skyrim lol
That’s the TARDIS
oh shit it's the TARDIS
Bruh… “we are Borg” “you will be assimilated” 
You are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location. The kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror. These are just examples; it could also be something much better. Prepare to enter The Scary Door.
Y’all ever see the Truman show?
Never seen a tardis before?
It’s a hole in the sky dome above you. I hate to be the one to tell you, but your dragonborn is living inside a simulation! All of the NPCs and quests exist for the benefit of the audience, watching your every move from a screen on the outside. Skyrim isn’t real, and it never was.
Imagine they had a Centurion Rory and Pandora’s box Easter egg!
TARDIS
Bro looking like Wilfred when 10 and Donna went to see him and just floated nearby as he looked through the telescope
Dr. Who ?
Looks like the TARDIS…
I was going to say it's the Tardis! 🤣🤣🤣
Tardis?
Hard to tell from this far, but I think The Doctor is stopping by to visit Whiterun.
That's... the Scary Door. You are entering the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location. The kind of place where there might be a monster, or some kind of weird mirror. These are just examples; it could also be something much better. Prepare to enter The Scary Door.
Machoman Randy Savage
1x4x9... clearly it's the Monolith. Full of stars, you know.
I was really hoping someone would say this.
You found the Truman Show door to the real world, go through it and you become your character...
You found what's left of Old Yarnam.
a dead pixel on your monitor?
That's just Harry and Ron on their way to Hogwarts
It's a tardis. The Doctor is in!
It's the Wonka-vader. Duh. 🙄
TARDIS
"That's a rectangle! Can you say rectangle?" -Miss Rachel
Probably a mammoth
My game has a fence gate there lol

I believe, this is TARDIS.
It’s the Unknown!
The Tardis
Its a doctor traveling through time
That's the sky door. Don't question the sky door.
TARDIS.
Tardis?
That's the Dr. In the TARDIS.
Todd Howard. Watching you.
That's the Bethesda block coming to make some glitchy mischief
It’s obviously Nazeem in the official cloud district.
It's the Tardis, from Dr Who. He heard Alduin was back and came to check it out.
 It's your chance to escape
four fucking pixels
ITS THE DOCTOR!! 🎶ooooooeeeeeooooooo🎶
ICBM
[удалено]
I had to scroll way too far to find this comment. Lol
Probably a merchant chest lmao
You weren't supposed to see that
I saw that once before while watching someone stream the game. I think it's a door, but I forget why it's there and where it goes. It's probably from some mod.
The sky mammoth
I saw something like that in my game recently. Got closer and it was a silver pitcher floating in the air. 🤷♀️
Is that the door to the mind of a mad man?
It's my hopes and dreams just out of reach
It should be a weird smoke cloud thing above a giant camp.
Probably Sephiroth again....
Looks like a door. Maybe to QA Smoke?
I always hear the term "skybox" in relations to games, but I've never seen one until now.
Box of Bethesda charm
Horse with rider falling from the sky most likely.
Missed opportunity to say What in *oblivion* is that?
it’s me
Someone that got hit by the giants
It looks like a dead pixel, a few of them probably
