Baltimore: Mysterious Glow Illuminates Night Sky, Baffling ResidentsBaltimore: Mysterious Glow Illuminates Night Sky, Baffling Residents On a recent moonless night, residents of Baltimore were mystified by an eerie glow that bathed the city in a surreal light. The celestial phenomenon, described as a “pulsating green hue,” left witnesses in awe and sparked a flurry of speculation. The glow first appeared around 10:30 PM and lasted for several hours. It was visible across the city, from the bustling Inner Harbor to the suburban neighborhoods. Witnesses reported that the light cast a “strangely translucent” glow on buildings and trees, giving the impression that Baltimore was being enveloped by a celestial aurora. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” remarked one resident. “It was like a giant green spotlight had been turned on over the city.” Speculation about the source of the glow ranged from extraterrestrial visitors to atmospheric anomalies. The National Weather Service ruled out any weather-related phenomena, leaving scientists and residents alike perplexed. Some social media users suggested that the glow could be related to the upcoming launch of a rocket from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. However, NASA officials denied any connection to the light, stating that no such launches were scheduled for that night. Dr. Jonathan Swift, an astrophysicist at Johns Hopkins University, offered a more prosaic explanation. He suggested that the glow could be caused by a natural phenomenon known as a “night-shining cloud.” These rare clouds, composed of tiny ice crystals, are known to reflect sunlight even after sunset. “It’s possible that a layer of night-shining clouds passed over Baltimore last night,” said Dr. Swift. “However, this would be a very unusual occurrence for this time of year.” As of this writing, the source of the mysterious glow remains unknown. Scientists and Baltimore residents alike continue to speculate, eager to unravel the truth behind this enigmatic celestial display.
