This is gonna be an odd one, but there’s always been a white, wavy thing I see in the sky every time I leave a borderland waypoint in hostile territory. I always chalked it up to some remnant but back when the quaggans were around – lightning and whatnot. Thing is, I took a closer took at it today, and noticed that it’s actually some kind of odd spherical object that changes from white to red depending on the time of day. The sphere is only visible when looking at the sky with the right camera angle. The easiest place to do so would be from a borderland waypoint as shown below.

So what that thing? Some remnant of a moon mean to pass over the skybox that didn’t get fully implemented? An accidental icon taken from who knows where? A leftover prank from some long forgotten developer? Thing’s driving me crazy.

Edit: It seems that this thing can be red and white at the same time, too. Huh.
Edit 2: Having looked at it a bit further, I’m now fairly certain that this anomaly is in fact a Bloodlust territory marker. Why I can see it from spawn I have no idea.

If I had to take a guess, I’d say it’s the bloodlust territory marker for Battle’s Hollow.

I know I can see an Airship in that spot at times, but your screen shots don’t look like the airship I see in borderlands skies. Can you also see it to your left in the sky above Citadel (but ghosty, like you’re not supposed to see it) as you go from SW camp on the supply road to SW tower? If yes, it might be the same airship I see when I’m in the borderlands.
