Claim: Visuals of a strange object emitting radiant light waves shortly before the recent earthquakes in turkey and Syria suggesting a possible connection to seismic activity
Fact-check: Old unrelated visuals shared as mysterious event in sky prior to recent Turkey Earthquake - FACTLY
Verdict: visuals show the 'twilight phenomenon' that occurred during the launch of falcon 9 rocket's launch from california in october 2018, when particles from missile or rocket propellant left in the vapor trail of a launch vehicle expand in the upper atmosphere, condense, and freeze. the plume of exhaust suspended in the sky against a dark background is then lit up by the high-altitude sunlight, resulting in a stunning and colourful display visible from the ground. this event has occurred previously on several occasions. hence the claim made in the post is false.
