Birmingham, UK, experienced a striking pink sky during Storm Goretti, initially sparking speculation of auroras or otherworldly events. The phenomenon was caused by bright pink LED floodlights at Birmingham City Football Club's St. Andrew's Stadium reflecting off heavy snow and low clouds. The snow and clouds scattered the light, allowing warmer pink hues to dominate the sky, a common effect amplified by urban light pollution and winter weather. The football club playfully embraced the event, tweeting 'Pink sky at night, Blues delight.'
