THE BEST THINGS TO HAPPEN ON CAMERA 10 Strange Phenomena in the Sky Caught on Camera Ten Strange Sky Phenomenon Caught On Video Our world is a beautiful place. We have amazing natural phenomena like the grand canyon, waterfalls, and even the sea. The great thing about these phenomena is that we can understand them. We have a rough understanding of how the grand canyon came to be. For the most part, we understand what's in the sea, and we know why waterfalls make such thundering noise. But there are some natural phenomena that we cannot possibly explain— and sometimes we see these phenomena when we look up in this sky. Here are ten phenomena in the sky caught on camera that we can't explain. Stick around for number three on this list. Some say that it may be a portal to another dimension. #10 The Clouds Of Brazil There are a lot of scary things. Skeletons, for one, are pretty scary. Ghouls too are definitely terrifying, and vampires are probably the scariest things ever. However, a sky that's red with blood may be scarier than all these things combined. And that is what some people in Brazil have to contend with. We don't know the year or the time this video but recorded, but we do know that it has been making rounds on the internet. Some YouTubers have come out to say that it is fake because there has only been once source for the video. And while we may agree, we can't say for sure. It may be fake, or it may be real. No one can decide. All we know is that if this happened in real life, we certainly have more questions than answers regarding it. 9 Red Sprites If you thought red clouds was scary, wait till you see what red sprites are. The scary thing about these sprites is that they do not show up in the sky in regular conditions. Instead, they show up during thunderstorms. That way, they are able to carry a more ominous feel than normal. But what are these sprites in the first place? Well, they are large-scale electrical discharges that occur high above thunderstorm clouds, or cumulonimbus, giving rise to a quite varied range of visual shapes flickering in the night sky. They are usually triggered by the discharges of positive lightning between an underlying thundercloud and the ground. They appear as luminous reddish-orange flashes and they often occur in clusters above the troposphere at an altitude range of 50–90 km. Sprites have been reported in the sky since at least the 19th century. However, they were regarded as myths by the scientific community. It took over a century for the first sprites to be captured in a video, and that happened in 1989. They were captured by scientists from the University of Minnesota, and they have subsequently been captured by other research teams many times. Some people sometimes inaccurately refer to Sprites as upper-atmospheric lightning. However, that's wrong. They are cold plasma phenomena that lack the hot channel temperatures of tropospheric lightning, so they are more akin to fluorescent tube discharges than to lightning discharges. So if you see a sprite during a storm. Don't be scared. There's no UFO battle in the sky. It's just normal storm stuff. 8) The Red Moon. The moon is not usually red. It could be white, it could be grey, it could be greyish white, but it's most certainly not red. However, sometimes it does look red. And sometimes, that gets caught on camera, like in this video. There are two general explanations for the Red Moon. The first is that the it is what happens when the moon goes through a total lunar eclipse. The red hue that you can see is actually due to the red edge of the Earth's shadow, which is reflected on the moon. That's one explanation. The second one is more mythical and is generally rejected by the scientific community. It's that the red moon is a symbol of malevolence. The Inca people of South America believed that the deep red colouring is a jaguar attacking and eating the moon. That's an interesting thing to think about, is it not? But the people of Inca weren't the only ones with their own definitions of the red blood moon. The people of ancient Mesopotamia said the lunar eclipse was considered a direct assault on the king, and in India, it was regarded to be the result of the demon Rahu drinking the elixir of immortality. The sun and moon promptly decapitate Rahu, but having consumed the elixir, Rahu’s head remained immortal. Rahu’s head chases the sun and moon to devour them, seeking revenge. If he catches them we have an eclipse – Rahu swallows the moon, which reappears out of his severed neck. What do you think? Do you believe the scientific explanation or the mythological one?
