Explosion sounds and luminous objects heard at dawn in Egypt. What's happening? Sound and image.

In the early hours of Saturday morning, videos showing explosions and strange lights in the sky circulated widely on social media in Egypt, sparking confusion and concern among citizens, especially in light of the escalating tensions between Iran and Israel.

Signs in the sky... are they missile trails? At dawn, images were taken and sightings of luminous objects and trails of light were reported in the skies over areas such as Cairo, Giza, and even Upper Egypt. These strange phenomena prompted many internet users to question their nature, and in the minds of some, they were linked to the missile exchange between Iran and Israel last night.

Eyewitness: "A light explosion shook Cairo" A blogger posted a photo of glowing lines in the sky, asking, "Strange signs and luminous objects are now visible above the skies of Cairo. A light explosion is in the air. Are they the result of the recently launched ballistic missiles?" Similar sightings have been reported from areas such as Matariya, east of the capital, where similar lights have been seen, raising questions.

What do these phenomena have to do with ballistic missiles? Some activists on social media have offered scientific explanations suggesting that these lights may be traces of ballistic missiles or interceptor missiles launched during the exchange of attacks, which are most visible at sunrise or sunset due to their high altitude in the atmosphere.

"No violation of Egyptian airspace" A blogger named Mohamed Nour explained in a Facebook post that these phenomena are not evidence of a breach in Egyptian airspace, but rather a natural consequence of missiles moving through the upper atmosphere. He noted that the circulating images depict the gaseous and light trails left behind by missiles flying at high altitudes.

Bloggers' opinions on social media "We woke up to sounds and explosions in the sky, and everyone is wondering: Has war entered our borders? The phenomena seen with the naked eye over Cairo and Giza are worrisome. This war is not as far away from us as people imagined after the attack launched from Iran ."

"I saw a bright object in the sky at 6:00 AM. It had a fiery tail and was moving quickly. I felt a strange sense of dread, especially with the news that Iran was striking Israel with ballistic missiles."

"It's not just a missile or a light! We've entered a new phase of conflict. What happened above Egypt's skies reflects an escalation that could drag the entire region into a comprehensive war!"

"Did anyone see the light in the sky? I live in Giza and I saw a strange line of fire and behind it were circles of light. Are we safe or not?"

"It's very clear that these are high-altitude missile trajectories, which is what makes them visible at sunrise and sunset. This war is no longer a distant war, it's knocking on our door!"

Despite widespread concern, all initial analyses confirm that what was seen in the sky resulted from clashes at a distance, and there is no indication of a direct threat or interference in Egyptian airspace at this time.
