We all see mesmerizing views when flying, but some are more exceptional than others. A pilot flying over the Atlantic noticed one of these, according to a post shared on Reddit.

The caption says, “Mysterious red glow seen over the Atlantic, pilot says he’s never seen anything like it. Via July 2022.”

An unexplainable red glow can be seen in the photographs, which is nearly frightening. This did not stop individuals from leaving comments on the forum speculating about the nature of the occurrence.

“Perhaps there have never been so many fishing boats grouped together to focus so much light. Three potential situations. 1. There are very modest concentrations of fish. 2. After exhausting the Pacific, Chinese fishing vessels are now factory fishing in the Atlantic. 3. China’s factory fishing method has been adopted by fishing vessels operating in the Atlantic. These are all undesirable outcomes. I wish them fish well “a Redditor said.

Others ventured a guess that it may be the end of times. “If I’m not wrong, the first DOOM game was set in 2022, so this is it. There comes the demons. There is the end…” said another Redditor.

“It’s so hot the ocean is getting wildfires now,” said one insightful commenter.

Many made comparisons to the TV series Stranger Things. “Dustin’s trying to open up a portal to the upside down – It is literally a watergate,” said a Redditor.

A similar phenomenon was spotted in 2014 by pilot JPC Van Heijst. “In the night of 24-25 August 2014, I flew a 747-8 from Hong Kong to Anchorage.

While flying over the vast Pacific Ocean, somewhere southeast of the Russian Kamchatka Peninsula, I had one of the strangest experiences of my life. Around five hours into our flight with Japan a long time behind us, we were cruising at a comfortable 34.000 ft with about four and half hours to go towards Alaska. Over the radio, we heard Air Traffic Control talking to other planes that were heading for the US West Coast about diversions due to major earthquakes in San Francisco,” wrote the pilot.

He continued by describing what he had seen in the sky. “Before us, I detected a dark red or orange glow, which was confirmed when I saw a preview of the images on the back of my camera. For hundreds of kilometers around us, there was supposed to be nothing but boundless ocean below. At first glance, they resembled a far-off metropolis or a collection of traditional Asian squid fishing boats, but this was not plausible at this location. In addition to being far bigger than the typical city or fleet of boats, the lights we observed also glowed in red and orange rather than the usual yellow and white that would be produced by cities or ships “said the pilot. “The closer we got, the more intense the glow became, illuminating the clouds and sky below us in a scary orange glow that you would expect with a massive fire on the ground. In a part of the world where there was supposed to be nothing but water.”

Could the same phenomenon that resulted in this sighting in 2014 be responsible for today’s events?
