Venezuela: Candilazo Phenomenon Turns Sky Red Days After Twin Quakes.
Jul 2, 2026
San Cristobal, Venezuela - June 30, 2026 Days after powerful twin earthquakes battered the country, residents of Venezuela witnessed the sky turn a deep crimson red at sunset on Tuesday, June 30, with videos of the phenomenon spreading rapidly on social media and fueling speculation of a link to the recent seismic activity. Atmospheric scientists said the display, known locally as a candilazo, was a well-understood optical phenomenon caused by sunlight interacting with airborne particles, rather than evidence of "earthquake lights" or other seismic-related causes.
