It's good to entertain. But in this case it seems to me no, nothing of value.
The clouds in those videos aren't going behind the moon. That's how cameras (and our own eyes) perform with really high light contrast. That's also why it's hard to get a good shot of the moon at night. In a lower contrast setting, like when the moon is visible in the daytime or early evening - when there is still light in the sky 'around' it - the clouds are visible in front of the moon.
Have you seen any videos of clouds going 'behind' the moon in daylight?
I searched through some of my own photos because I wanted to show you some examples. Unfortunately I couldn't find one of both moon & clouds in daylight.
I found one in clear daytime skies, one at night (where you could say it looks like the clouds are 'behind' the moon), and then a third one (at night) that seems to show both... and now I don't quite understand it - Ha.
It's the bottom one, take a look if you'd like. Cropped photos: Imgur
Clouds do not physically move behind the Moon because the moon is not in Earth's atmosphere. There are no Earth clouds (masses of condensed water in the atmosphere) in space.
The moon is approx. 240k miles away from Earth, and clouds top out at an altitude of approx 15 miles.
If a translucent object passes in front of a very bright object, the translucent object will often appear to not be visible.
When you look through a tree's branches at the sun, do the smaller branches or leaves that are no longer visible somehow transport "behind" the sun? Of course not.
I agree, I even searched through my own photos to bring up some examples. But instead, I found something that now looks confusing to me... what exactly is going on in the bottom photo? http://i.imgur.com/BqK5Mlx.jpg (these are crops)
Because the moon is actually pretty close to the earth and so is the sun. Whether it's flat or if we live on the inside of a sphere is up to people to decide I sit 49/51 in favor of the concave theory.
Wha... That doesn't even make sense. If the earth were concave, we'd be able to look about 5 degrees up from flat land and see more land. And what the hell is keeping us on the edges? What are stars? Why can't you always see the sun? Why would anyone lie about that?
The reason you can't see more land by looking up is because our eyesight doesn't allow us to. And our perception we see with our eyes is deceiving us. I won't answer the other questions but there are viable reasons why people are lying about that.
Ok let me rephrase that - How does concave theory account for the existence (but lack of discovery) of the 'edges' of Earth, as visible in the photo you linked?
God dude talking to idiots makes me want to hang myself why don't you look up what I'm talking about before you ask the master any questions. The concave earth theory is that we live on the inside of a sphere. The sphere is just opened so you can see inside of it. God dude your head must be made of fucking lead.
We'll just keep going this government corruption is going through the roof, in due time we will be able to go anywhere on earth and know what we are standing on. To the new world we will go people fight for our rights.

Have a nice day.

First things first - what planet are you on?
-1 Putin_loves_cats 2016-09-10
Earth. How does that answer what OP is asking?
5 inbetweentime 2016-09-10
Well, the only way clouds can go 'behind' the moon is if OP is out beyond the moon himself.
It was not a serious question.

So nothing of value then? Got it. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=clouds+going+behind+the+moon

Honestly, did you buy Putin_loves_cats account from him? He used to be one of the most intelligent posters on here.
2 Putin_loves_cats 2016-09-10
Well, thanks for the compliment. But, no, still the same dude. I like to entertain more fringe ideas these days, though.

Makes sense, I suppose.
No, not that I'm aware of.

I think it does, but you know what's funny?

Huh, now that is interesting! Thanks for sharing.

That picture is more convincing than any of the videos I just looked at LOL (never heard of it before now).

Um, did you read that person's comment? If we are on Earth the clouds shouldn't go behind the moon... lol

I have never in my life ever seen clouds go behind the moon.

Ummm huh?

They don't, it's just an optical illusion. It's just a very bright object with a translucent object passing in front.

Nah man. You can view reality two ways and trust me it looks a lot more fucked up looking at it from the other side.
1 ixholla 2016-09-10
It depends on what type of drugs you're on. Mushrooms and Acid, the clouds are clearly in front of the moon.

Coming up with cryptic nonsense is not an argument.

Thanks for the answer and chill out, no need to be so rude.

Sorry for being rude. After rereading I see you are being nice. I am used to sarcastic fools trying to act smart around these theories.

All good, I understand your frustration. And I did misinterpret that photo. Cheers b.

Concave is definitely a fascinating theory. I've been looking into it quite a bit lately.
