Residents in the city of Mildura Australia were left confused on Wednesday after the night sky was filled with strange pink light.
Photos posted on social media show how the sky is dim and cloudy is illuminated with a bright pink circle. It also seems that there is a cone of light directed upward from the ground, showing that pink light has a soil -based source.
This phenomenon triggers jokes from several observers, including references to aliens or popular paranormal drama series Stranger Things.
However, not long before the population got the answer: The pink light came from the nearest marijuana farm owned by the Cann Group pharmacy company.
Local residents were treated to a little light show last night when we tested one of the new cultivation zones in our facilities. We can confidently say this is not Sury Surya or an interdimensional portal,” the Cann group was confirmed on Twitter.
Marijuana plants need a different spectrum of light to encourage their growth. For example, red lights are often used in the flowering stage to encourage plants to grow tall and help increase shoots.
This is a new facility that has just been operating this year, very interesting and sophisticated technology, “he told Channel.
We used LED lights in the facility […] and we were testing a new room that entered the new commission yesterday. The lights usually die at sunset. We are testing the system and they don’t die at sunset, but the lights are extinguished at the hour 7 when we put marijuana. “
Cann Group Ltd is the first Australian company to secure licenses for planting cannabis for treatment and research purposes.
