In the midst of a thunderstorm, a strange ball of light suddenly appeared in the sky over the city of Canberra (Australia) and then suddenly disappeared without a trace. The phenomenon sparked many rumors about UFOs.
Conspiracy theorists claim that the green ball of light could be related to an unidentified flying object (UFO). Some people even believe it is an alien spacecraft.
A strange phenomenon appeared in the night sky over Canberra on January 3 and was filmed and posted on YouTube. Many rumours have appeared to explain the phenomenon. In addition to mystical explanations about aliens, there are also explanations based on scientific knowledge.
Red and green lights typically appear in the sky during auroras, said astronomer Brad Tucker of the Australian National University. However, auroras only appear when solar storms whip up the Earth’s atmosphere, while balls of light exist when there are no reports of solar storms. There are also some phenomena in nature that emit a blue light similar to the aurora. Scientists say that if a lightning-carrying storm interacts with certain gases in the sky, it can generate green or red light.
