An unusual pink glow lighted up the sky in Kent, UK and left people baffled last week, with some saying it looked like “the end of the world”. Locals in Thanet district were left wondering about the eerie pink hue that lit up the sky at dawn, during 5 am and 6 am on Thursday. Several pictures of the same were shared on social media sparking a plethora of theories.

“At first, it looked like otherworldly, the way the pink light was mixing with the morning mist and cloud cover. When I got nearer it was as if someone was having a massive UV rave in the buildings it was coming from,” Dale West, a local, told The Independent.

“It isn’t normally noticeable but when the cloud cover and fog comes into play it makes it 100 times more obvious,” he added.

While some people termed it as a “supernatural experience”, others thought that an alien invasion was about to take place.
