Skywatch Media News for October the 17th 2019 there is an incredible
phenomenon occurring in the sky in recent times that scientists are having
a difficult time explaining to the public
this past summer a flurry of purple skies were reported all across the globe
that meteorologist had attributed to an immense volcanic eruption most notably
the remote Russian volcano named Raikoke which blew its stack in June of this
year according to researchers tiny particles of sulfur dioxide called
aerosols were thrust into the atmosphere creating the immense purple sunsets and
sunrises the world over that was their explanation during this past summer when
the skies suddenly turned a deep shade of purple but now it looks as though the
explanation revolving around this strange story has shifted could it be
that something else is causing the purple skies if you recall in early
September during the passage of Hurricane Dorian the sky in parts of
Florida turned purple much to the amazement of tens of thousands of
onlookers the same phenomenon occurred in October of 2018 when Hurricane
Michael crossed over the Florida Panhandle the explanation given by
meteorologists for these strange events was a phenomenon called atmospheric
scattering where tiny molecules gather to change the direction in which violet
and blue light rays travel the more moisture there is in the atmosphere the
greater will be the increase in molecules that contribute to this
magical purple color that is seen and perceived by the human eye so this is
yet another scientific theory that attempts to explain what is happening in
our atmosphere but the reaction to the
series of light phenomenon in recent times is as diverse as the spectrum of
purple hues appearing in the sky for all we know the public could interpret the
purple skies as an official warning of the passing of a powerful and
destructive storm it's very likely that the people of Japan were thinking the
same thing as the skies above it turned an ominous shade of purple just hours
before typhoon Hagibis smashed into the bay of Tokyo bursting riverbanks and
burying homes under landslides as the skies turned a deep shade of purple
across Japan warnings were given for its residents to evacuate
in Tokyo mobile phones began sounding alarms issuing warnings of quickly
rising flood waters and mudslides as a Hagibis typhoon of speed and strength
the biggest storm of the century was approaching as the sky turned an eerie
shade of purple and red hues giant waves began hitting the eastern coastline of
Japan
shortly thereafter the Tama River burst its banks flooding residential sectors
of southern Tokyo
roaring winds encompass the city as public transport came to a standstill
the streets of Tokyo were vacated
the level of intensity both in and around the city of Tokyo was
unprecedented this became a once in many decades event mainstream meteorologists
have been quick to proclaim these phenomenal purple sky encounters as
light scattering but something is happening with the atmosphere leading up
to the time when these events take place which seems unnatural that may
correspond to something that extends well beyond the Earth's borders at about
the same moment that the skies of Japan turned purple a tremendous meteor
fireball illuminated the sky over northeast China the disintegration was
so powerful that it turned the midnight sky in to day over the city of Songyuan
the fire in the sky event occurred at 1216 a.m. a Beijing time where it was
captured by surveillance cameras from the city of songyuan which also was
witnessed by many residents across northeast china the fireball was so
immense that it cast dark shadows while streaking across the sky
scientists from the Purple Mountain observatory of the Chinese academy of
sciences are currently reviewing the footage to determine what cosmic object
caused the light display although no fragments of meteors have been found in
or around the area according to state-run media outlet CCTV as you gaze
towards the sky in wonderment always know that it is the source of light in
nature for it governs all life and everything on this planet thanks for
