Birmingham, UK, experienced a striking pink night sky during Storm Goretti, initially mistaken by residents for auroras. The phenomenon was caused by powerful pink LED floodlights at St. Andrew's Stadium, home of Birmingham City Football Club. Heavy snow and low clouds acted as mirrors, reflecting and scattering the artificial light across the West Midlands skyline, creating a widespread neon effect. While the storm brought some disruptions, the unusual sky captivated social media users.
