Fact Check: Did Sky Turn Crimson Red in Chinese Port City? (Newsweek)

Social media is awash with clips showing a blood-red sky seen over the Chinese coastal city of Zhoushan this week.

While Newsweek could not independently find a definitive explanation of the phenomenon, Chinese experts claim it was caused by lights from saury fishing boats being refracted onto the sky. Similar phenomena were observed during a spate of forest fires in Western U.S. in 2020, with witnesses describing apocalyptic scenes as the sky turned orange and red. One popular clip that has been shared by several people but appears to have originated from the Chinese social media website Weibo shows a view of the sky from a residential street. In one of the video clips, an onlooker reportedly said they had "never seen anything like this." The sky did appear to turn red over part of the city of Zhoushan in China recently, as social media images and footage from a number of angles, as well as local media reporting confirms. In a report on May 8, the Global Times reported that the red sky appeared over Zhoushan on Saturday, May 7, and became one of the top trending topics on Weibo where posts gained more than 150 million views.
