I just returned home today from my honeymoon in WDW (It was amazing!!) and my wife and I noticed something.. there was suddenly a very large dark spot on top of spaceship earth at epcot one day.. we didn't see this spot at all previously (the two prior days) and then suddenly it was very noticeable (from say when the bus pulls up to drop you off but not after you have walked into the park itself as the angle is too hight).. the only possible thing we could guess (i stress the word "guess" there) was maybe lightning might have struck it? we have no reason to think this happened but couldn't think of any other reason there would suddenly be a huge dark spot.. anyone have any explanation? here are two pictures i took from about the bus drop off-to-bag check area.. you can see the dark spot on the upper right side of the sphere..
