Researchers believe that the blood red skies may have been caused by a giant geomagnetic storm that was as powerful as the Carrington Event of 1859. One document spoke of an event in September of 1770, when the skies over the region glowed red for more than one week. According to CBN News, historians have found 300-year-old documents from China, Korea and Japan that have recounted eyewitness accounts of similar events. This is not the first time blood red skies sparked fear of end times in cities. The light refraction that caused the blood red skies and subsequently worries about the end times may have been caused by a fishing boat that was harvesting Pacific saury or particulate matter from the Tonga volcanic eruption earlier this year, online discussions said.Īlso Read: Super Blood Moon, Followed By 'Ring Of Fire', Appearing Wednesday The Zhoushan Meteorological Bureau explained through state-controlled media that, "When weather conditions are good, more water in the atmosphere forms aerosols which refract and scatter the light of fishing boats and create the red sky seen by the public." The blood red skies were actually caused by light refraction. A user claimed that the blood red skies was a warning that "accidents will happen" while another claimed that he had begun to stock up on supplies. The phenomenon quickly became the talk of the Chinese internet, where users on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, called it a bad omen over China's handling of the COVID pandemic.

Some of the residents who recorded videos of the eerie phenomenon could be heard panicking and wondering how the sky could turn blood-red under thick layers of fog, causing fears for the apocalypse.Īccording to the Daily Mail, people initially thought that a fire had broken out and got out of control. Earlier this week, unique weather conditions in Zhoushan, a port city in China caused the sky to turn red as blood, causing many to wonder if the end times have finally arrived.
