A cluster of what appeared to be UFOs stunned onlookers after they were spotted in the night sky following a 5.6-magnitude earthquake.
The tremor was recorded about 25 miles from Turhal, about 481 miles east of Turkey’s largest city Istanbul, at about 6:10pm on April 18. While the quake had a shallow depth of six miles, it was widely felt in the region.
Locals were left stunned when a swarm of bright lights shimmered in the night sky later that night. In one recording, dozens of bright lights could be seen shooting across the night sky as a couple discussed what it could be. The man said: “You need to see this.” A woman replied: “What are those? Why are the birds shining like white gold?”
The video was widely shared on Instagram on May 1, as reported by What’sTheJam. While some people had otherworldly explanations, others were more grounded in what they believed the lights were.
One local commented: “They’re either souls or angels.” Another said: “They are seagulls flying over a light source, nothing mysterious about this.” Ethan wrote: “There are some natural phenomena that produce lights in the sky around fault lines, especially after earthquakes.”
