Conspiracy theories have been swirling around the CERN particle accelerator and the solar eclipse. But a video of a portal opening isn’t real.
On April 8, a total solar eclipse passed over parts of the U.S., Mexico and Canada. In the weeks leading up to the eclipse, questions about the natural phenomenon bubbled up online.
The eclipse has also fueled some conspiracy theories. A video clip that has been shared repeatedly on social media appears to show a portal opening in the sky. People sharing the clip claim it shows a portal opening over Geneva, Switzerland, where the CERN particle accelerator is located, just days before the eclipse and question whether it’s a “coincidence.”
The CERN Portal ‘opens’ in Geneva, Switzerland. WEF is aware.
It’s not a coincidence they’re doing this at this particular time. pic.twitter.com/WjmRNkOeY9
