Dubai skies have been nothing short of a mystery for residents over the last couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

With the Geminid meteor shower<\/a> (a celestial phenomenon) expected to dazzle the UAE skies on December 14 and 15, residents recently have been baffled over the random asteroid-like sightings.<\/p>\n

Dubai Astronomy Group set the record straight and exclusively told Lovin Dubai that the flares seen on the night of Sunday, December 11, “were definitely not a meteor shower”<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson clarified that “this is also skydivers and the flares they are using.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
