Sky over Venezuela turns red due to atmospheric dust, report says

Primary source Internal intake · 3 reviewed intake signals · Desk window 22:13

TL;DR

The sky over Venezuela turned red Wednesday evening due to dust, sand, and microscopic particles rising into the atmosphere, according to a report. The phenomenon follows earlier reports of a red sky over Caracas.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The sky over Venezuela was reported red Wednesday evening, attributed by a broadcast to dust, sand, and microscopic particles rising into the atmosphere. This is a new reported event, coming after an earlier red-sky phenomenon over Caracas Wednesday morning that was the subject of competing explanations (atmospheric scattering vs. earthquake lights). The current report provides a different causal description but does not specify a particular city, nor does it reconcile the two accounts. No official sources or additional verification have been published for this latest sighting.
