*~*~*A Phenomenon*~*~*

Two nights ago, part of the sky above a village in Sweden, all of a sudden turned violet. It is a mysterious phenomenon, people say.

There is no explanation up to now.

Beautiful colour. Apparently the reason for the sky being purple (near Trelleborg) is because a new energy-efficient lighting system had been installed in a tomato farm. I hope the information below helpful in explaining the phenomenon.

'This new LED light system which glows purple has been installed in Gislov 10-minutes east of the town Trelleborg. A video of the night-time shows the purple light glowing in the sky went viral. This light alarmed the residents of the Swedish town.

It is believed that the purple glow falling on these plants is good for them. The light is also believed to extend the growing season. The residents from both Gislov and Trelleborg have complained about these lights that they fall in their homes at night.

When low-lying thick clouds are hanging in the sky then we can see the purple haze because the clouds are lit up from below. Thereafter, operators of the new system started turning the lights off between 5 pm to 11 pm in order to address the concerns of the residents of the town.

Mikael Norén, the environmental manager of Trelleborg, said that in order to prevent further disturbances, the department is planning to submit an action plan.

The tomato farm is owned by Alfred Pedersen & Son. They issued a statement regarding the concerns about the nighttime light saying that they have chosen to turn off the tomato cultivation at night as their first step.

The statement also said that it will be a step back for them. As per them, people were not meant to be angry and they just wanted to save electricity and grow more tomatoes.

The Trelleborg town has around 45,000 residents. In the earlier records, it has been found that this town was given as a wedding gift to Prince Valdemar of Sweden by the Danish royal family. The town has the second largest seaport in the country today.' [google]

Thank you, lillium for the research on this event. Excellent! My daughter had sent the photo to me with the question "what is this?" It went around the world fast. Growing tomatoes can have consequences. LOL

Very strange indeed, but rather beautiful.

It really caused all kinds of speculation.

Whatever may be the reason for the phenomenon, it is a pleasing feast for the eyes! Be safe, seek.

Nice for passing by, Anam. Yes, it is fascinating to look at at first, but also activates the fantasy. Feels a little like science fiction.

Lovely in the pictures, but I can see why the people would be alarmed. I searched for this online, because I wondered if this could have been a doctored picture and story..... so much of what we see and read online can be dubious these days.
I found the explanation that Lilium posted. Interesting. I wonder why the people continue to be concerned after finding out the cause?

Mrsjoe, my first thought was also that it was fake. Thanks to lilium we now know that it's real and (hopefully) not dangerous.

I WOULD WORRY IF THE SKY ABOVE ME TURNED THAT COLOR.

Archer, I would, too. Especially at this chaotic time one contemplates all bad possibilities.
