Numerous videos shared on X display unusual phenomena captured in the sky just before the earthquake struck Japan.
At 4:10 PM local time, Japan experienced a powerful earthquake measuring 7.5 on the Richter scale, with a depth of 10 km, centered in Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture. Due to its intensity, the earthquake triggered a series of significant aftershocks. The Japan Meteorological Agency also issued a high tsunami warning for coastal areas, indicating that waves in the Noto region could reach heights of up to 5 meters.

While the situation regarding the earthquake and tsunami continues to unfold, several netizens have shared remarkable videos, claiming these depict strange phenomena occurring right before the earthquake.
In one instance, an individual recorded what was described as “a meteor falling from the sky,” capturing a bright streak of light rapidly traversing the sky. Another user even photographed two objects suspected to be meteors passing through the sky.
The peculiar light phenomenon appearing in the sky, accompanied by loud noises, was recorded by many.
Additionally, many videos posted on X show thousands of birds gathering in the sky, flying in flocks, resembling waves. Similar videos depict groups of crows concentrating around a high-rise building just before the earthquake, drawing significant attention.

Currently, relevant authorities in Japan have not responded to these observations, but many believe these could be signs of impending natural disasters. Historically, there is substantial evidence suggesting that animals can sense natural calamities earlier than humans and exhibit strange behaviors before disasters occur.
