Mistaken Aurora Turns Out to Be Tomato Factory Lights

Dee Harrison's early morning discovery of a glowing sky in Suffolk was debunked as LED lights from a local tomato farm.

  • Dee Harrison, 56, from Ipswich, initially believed she had photographed the northern lights over Bramford, Suffolk.
  • The reddish glow in the sky was later identified as emanating from Suffolk Sweet Tomatoes' LED light units used for plant growth.
  • Harrison shared her photos on social media, receiving both admiration and corrections about the true source of the lights.
  • Local resident Adam Cotterell clarified that the lights are a common sight in the area, especially during foggy winter months.
  • AuroraWatch UK confirmed there was no significant northern lights activity in the region at the time of Harrison's sighting.
