Mysterious red orange glow on the Pacific Ocean

Recently, a Dutch pilot was astonished to discover a mysterious red-orange glow when flying near the Kamchatka Peninsula airspace (Russia).

On a 10-hour flight from Hong Kong to Alaska, pilot JPC van Heijst said that after taking off about 5 hours, he and his colleague were shocked to see a sudden flash of lightning, vertical in the air.

About 20 minutes later, a mysterious red-orange glow appeared and covered a large part of the sky. Van Heijst thinks it is the strangest thing he has witnessed during his flight career.

Daily Mail on August 27 quoted Van Heijst: 'The closer you get, the brighter the light, it shines the clouds below the plane into a scary orange. Meanwhile, this area should have been nothing but seawater. '

At that time, the sky had no thunderstorms, so lightning might not have come from a storm. Van Heijst and his colleagues believe that this may be due to volcanic activity just below the surface of the ocean. The pilot also worried about possible volcanic dust, affecting the safety of the flight. However, during the journey, the flight did not encounter any obstacles.

The arc of the Pacific Ocean is also known as the Fire Ring - an area where frequent earthquakes and volcanoes occur (more than 75% of volcanoes are still active worldwide concentrated here). Therefore, the prediction of volcanic lava eruption caused light to be completely grounded.

There was also another theory. It is possible that the operation of the squid fishing vessels in the ocean created this light. A similar case occurred when Reid Riseman pilot discovered blue lights off Thailand then the mysterious blue light was determined by the gathering of offshore fishing boats.

However, in order to create such a light, there must be at least 50 fishing vessels gathered in one area. Meanwhile, at the time the aircraft was controlled by Van Heijst flying through the area, no fishing vessel was operating nearby.
