Strange Pink Glow in Sky Turns Out to Be Caused by Monster Weed Farm
PURPLE HAZE
Turns out that residents in the Australian city of Mildura didn’t need to panic when a mysterious pink glow appeared in the sky on Wednesday night—the feared alien invasion was really just light coming from a huge medical cannabis farm where staff forgot to close the blinds.
