Residents are puzzled by a strange orange glow lighting up the night sky. Speculations abound on social media about its source, with many sharing their theories and sightings.
Greater Manchester: There’s this weird orange glow lighting up the night sky. No one really knows what it is or where it’s coming from.
People are buzzing about it online, sharing their thoughts and theories. Some are joking, while others are trying to figure it out seriously.
A photo from the Manchester Evening News shows a bright column of light. It looks almost like a halo hanging in the sky.
Reddit users are chiming in too, mentioning Winter Hill, which is north of Manchester. They say it’s visible most nights, creating an eerie orange sky.
Others from Wigan and Bolton have also shared their views of the glowing sky. One Redditor asked, “What’s causing these lights over Winter Hill? It’s so bright!”
Another user humorously renamed Bolton as Mordor, saying Winter Hill is now Mount Doom. It’s all in good fun, but the mystery remains.
Some think the lights might be from the Toughsheet Community Stadium in Horwich, home of the Bolton Wanderers. It used to be called the Reebok Stadium.
Another person asked, “What’s causing this light in the sky?” It seems like everyone is curious.
People even claim they can see the glow from as far as Barton Bridge on the M60 motorway. “I can see it too! What is it?” one user posted.
Some suggestions include heat lamps at the stadium or lights from the nearby Middlebrook area. The mystery continues!
