Is a Grand Canyon ‘fire dragon’ video from Twitter real footage?
A spectacular video went viral on social media, claiming to show a massive ‘fire dragon’ phenomenon soaring over the Grand Canyon. The clip gathered millions of views as viewers debated: is this video real or fake? The dramatic visuals showed what appeared to be a fiery creature moving through the sky while tourists filmed the event.
