The text explains that passengers often request window seats during flights to witness cool events, even if they end up in the middle seat, as they want to see what other passengers witnessed.
One pilot was surprised at the unexplained event, so he took some pictures and posted them on Reddit, with the caption: "Mysterious red glow seen over the Atlantic; I've never seen anything like it."
His post quickly attracted many social media users, with more than thousands of comments that made various theories about these weird red glows.
One suggested: "It's so hot the ocean is getting wildfires now."
Another supposed: "It could be a fire."
Some people put fictional theories about alien entities in the comments section: "Those are lights created by alien UFO ships, they are visiting our planet."
"The lightning bolt appeared more intense and shorter-duration than a lightning bolt in a distant thunderstorm, resembling an explosion," one wrote.
A social media user stated: "I have witnessed numerous thunderstorms, shooting stars, lightning bolts, and stars, but never witnessed a single flash like this, which was unusual as it did not follow any subsequent flashes."
Similarly, the majority affirmed that the universe is boundless and that not only humans exist. There are always phenomena that no one can figure out.
The other people responded: "Don't be that silly, it was just a natural event. It is caused by the human's heavy impact. No aliens or UFOs in life."
This is not the first time they have been spotted in the sky. The phenomenon has been observed on a flight from Hong Kong to Anchorage in August 2014.
The flight was over Alaska when a passenger explained, as reported on JPC Van Heijst: "Suddenly, a long way off in the distance ahead, an intense light flash shot up from the ground, just at or beyond the horizon."
Although the exact cause is unknown, the sight is extremely impressive and has sparked debate on social media for a long time.
