Multiple people spotted a mysterious beam of light in the sky last week. The “red flare”, as many described it, was spotted by people in Houston and other places throughout the world.

While the strange red flare might give off extraterrestrial vibes due to its mystery, the phenomenon was most likely nothing quite as extraordinary, some say. People spotted the mysterious red flare over Houston, Texas the night of Wednesday, March 23, 2022. Others noticed it over Pearland, League City, Deer Park, and Missouri City, ABC13 reports.

But a similar mysterious beam of light was also spotted on the other side of the world, in areas like Egypt, several days before. You can see the light in the video above from KHOU11.

Reports of the light came in from Galveston County to Montgomery County to Jefferson County where Beaumont is located. As of Wednesday night, it was not currently known for sure what caused the light that lit up social media, but earlier ExxonMobil in Beaumont posted on Facebook that flaring would be occurring at its facility.

Some are guessing that a reflection from the flaring either in Beaumont or at another site closer to Houston caused the orange streak. There have been several possible theories on what this orange light could have been. The National Weather Service spoke with the Coast Guard and their best guess was that this orange light was from flaring.

What’s most interesting about this mysterious beam of light is the fact that it was also seen over Egypt sometime before it appeared over Texas. It’s possible that a similar type of factory experienced a similar flare-up over in Egypt. Or it could be something else entirely. Many on Reddit seem to think it could be aliens.

The unfortunate truth is, there’s just a lot about the world, and our universe, that we don’t understand. Both on our planet and beyond it. After all, someone recently thought they’d found a UFO submerged at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t. All we can do right now is scratch our heads in wonder about this mysterious beam of light seen in the sky.
