Last Wednesday, the dark sky was illuminated by neon pink light above the Australian town of Mildura. The residents almost thought they saw an alien invasion or “the end of the world.”
Local resident Tammy Szumowski and her family saw the “pink sky,” while she drove in the evening; “I was just like ‘What the hell is that?’ It is very bizarre, this huge pink light in the sky,” she said. “I’m trying not to freak out because I’ve got my girls in the car.”
Despite all the great imagination, the glow derived from a secret cannabis facility in Mildura, which had its location revealed after this event. The facility was testing out LED lights, and the reflection on the clouds at night caused the eerie and mysterious scene that almost 56,000 people saw.
As the facility security searched for the source of the glow, they found out that it was the red-spectrum LED lights used to boost plant growth. The facility usually has a curtain to cover the lights, but on Wednesday, it was unveiled, and the light got exposed for some hours.
Surprisingly, this facility is not an illegal one you see in movies because all the cannabis made in that factory is used for medical purposes. Australia legalized the cultivation, analysis, and production of medical cannabis to treat insomnia, pain, and anxiety, and now approximately 70,000 Australians use it. In 2021, the approximate profit went up to 160 million dollars just in Australia!
