What was the red sky in V?
At the end of season one of V in the episode called Red Sky. The visitors release something into the atmosphere that turns the sky red across the entire planet.
- What was it that they released?
- What did it do to the planet?
- What connection to the original series did red sky have? if any.
I vaguely recall in the original series that a red powder was developed by the humans to kill the visitors. Is the red sky a twist on that original plot?
Best Answer
• The visitors released a biological agent into the air in the form of vapor clouds which would then manifest as the 'Red Rain'.
• Contrary to the visitors' claims that the red rain would correct all the world's ecological problems, it was in fact an agent designed to increase the phosphorus in humans, thus making them suitable candidates for breeding with.
• I don't think there is much in the way of a connection to the original series, other than the visitors' interest in developing a human/alien hybrid.
It could be a nod to the red dust in the original series, but this is inconclusive.

Why is the sky red?
When the sun is setting in the west, its light passes through hundreds of miles of atmosphere \u2014 becoming extremely red in the process \u2014 before hitting the clouds above you. Shorter blue wavelengths bounce off the air and go off in other directions.What do red clouds mean?
Red skies suggest that the clouds are filled with a lot of dust and moisture. If there is a red sky at sunset, it is due to high levels of pressure and stable air conditions that are coming in from the west.What makes the sky red in the morning?
If the morning skies are of an orange-red glow, it signifies a high-pressure air mass with stable air-trapping particles, like dust, which scatters the sun's blue light. This high pressure is moving towards the east, and a low-pressure system moves in from the west.V (the Visitors) glorious scene Red Sky
