The death toll in the earthquake that struck Morocco two days ago has exceeded two thousand, while hundreds are injured, buildings have been destroyed and rescue and rehabilitation efforts are ongoing.
After this sudden calamity in the country, videos and pictures are now coming out, one of them caught the attention of the people. A mysterious blue light flashed on the horizon just before an earthquake hit the Moroccan city of Agadir, the moment was captured by a CCTV camera installed at home.
The shocking aspect of this phenomenon was that no one could provide a definitive explanation for these celestial lights at the time. But speculations were certainly made. But surprisingly, this phenomenon of mysterious blue light was nothing new.
Such a light was recorded by surveillance cameras even before the devastating earthquake that hit Turkey in February.
What is the mystery of this mysterious blue light?
Known as Earthquake Lights (EQL), these bright phenomena occur near areas of tectonic stress, seismic activity, or active volcanoes.
Amazingly, it turns out that EQLs have been observable for thousands of years, dating back to 89 BC.
However, throughout this history scientists have been unaware of their true nature, often conflating these celestial phenomena with extraterrestrials or science fiction.
Basically, earthquake lights are bright atmospheric phenomena that are somehow connected to either seismic activity or celestial events, as research reported by “Htschool” suggests.
It is worth noting that these lights do not appear all the time, but are mainly seen during and around the epicenter of an earthquake.
Another study revealed that due to the intense tectonic pressure near the epicenters of earthquakes, this place is called the piezoelectric effect.
In this case, quartz-bearing rocks are known to generate strong electric fields when compressed. However, this theory has not been widely accepted.
According to an in-depth analysis of 65 occurrences of these lights by astrophysicist Friedman Freud of NASA’s Ames Research Center, these lights are produced when certain types of rocks, such as basalt and gabbro, under the Earth’s surface melt. Electrical charges are activated inside.
