A video recently went viral on TikTok depicting strange, worm -like objects falling from the sky. It happened in Beijing , China. Here are all the details and initial hypotheses about this phenomenon.

Beijing, "worms" are raining from the sky: truth or illusion?

It is indeed a rather anomalous phenomenon that recently occurred in Beijing , China.

Specifically, according to what emerges from some images shared on the main social networks by some citizens, a real rain of worms would have hit the city , which even made those present think they were witnessing the beginning of the Apocalypse.

Behind this phenomenon , even if at the moment no official explanations have been provided by the Chinese authorities, there could be another truth.

Rain of "worms" in Beijing: here's the first hypothesis

According to the first hypotheses formulated by various scientists located in different parts of the world, what apparently appear to be worms in the video in question are actually poplar flowers.

Poplar flowers are very common in the city and in fact, if wet, they can take on the typical consistency of worms.

Rain of "worms" in Beijing: here's the second hypothesis

A second hypothesis that has been formulated about what is considered an extraordinary rain of “worms” is to be considered completely unfounded.

Specifically, this second hypothesis links what happened to the so-called "worm moon ," which is actually the last full moon of winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Specifically, the "worm moon" takes its name from the worms that began emerging from the ground following the rise in temperatures.

At this time, there is no certainty about the true nature of what happened, but this phenomenon has certainly fueled a debate on social media that is destined to continue for quite some time, pending official confirmation from the Chinese authorities.
