Rats Spawning in Safespot?

So I warped to my GSC is nullsec this morning and to my surprise I found some belt rats at 50km. Almost if the GSC was the center of an asteroid belt. Has anyone else seen this happen? I've been doing this for years and haven't seen anything like it before. As I was typing this, they just warped off. Luckily I took pics if you don't believe me.

Pics or it didn't happen...

Seriously...you took pics but didn't link em?

Any chance there was an anomaly or something near you?

Bounties for all! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2279821#post2279821

Not only do I not believe you, I don't even believe you took any pictures until you actually post them.

In fact, why didn't you just post them in the first place?

In theory I could see it happening.

Rats that warp off sometimes will end up at stations, where they never spawn, and that leads me to believe they warp off to a random-ish grid.

If you've created a grid at a safespot with your can....

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

This guy sounds like Senator McArthur. He tells us that all the evidence is in his briefcase...

Give a man a match and you warm him for a day.

Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life!

Kindly go to hell. Most kindly go to hell and when you get there, kindly die.

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

Seriously...I expect people to post in C&P and not offer proof....

Oh GD, you have slipped soo far.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Nothing new, rats also occasionally appear at a POS for some reason.

Yep, I've seen this happen before.
Haven't taken pics of it because, well, who really cares that much?

Enjoying the rain today? ;)

Seen them do this at stations.

Once I tried to attack them with a fast ship. They didn't warp away, but they were fast. Chased them for several minutes and they were bugged - no damage and they got out to several hundred thousand KM.

I'm thinking these occurrences are overview ghosts or simply a bug. Seen it around 20 times since 2006.

Bring back DEEEEP Space!

They were the poor capsuleers who didn't accept the New Order of Hisec...

I like how you posted pictures...but you have the info panel turned off so that no one will see that youre in a mined out belt.

Probably moreso to try and hide that his safe spot and GSC are in V1V-6F.

Hmm. Rats warping to random grids and flying around. This could be quite disastrous for an AFK Cloaker. Wonder what the odds are.
