TL;DR Summary

The mysterious pink glow illuminating the skies over East Yorkshire, which some believed to be the Northern Lights or even extraterrestrial activity, has been revealed to be caused by LED lights used for growing plants. The UK's largest plant propagator, Plant Raisers, installed the pink LED lights to manipulate day-length and maximize plant growth. The lights have not been visible until now due to an energy crisis that forced the company to invest in LED lights, resulting in the pink hue. The lights have significantly reduced the firm's energy bill and improved plant quality.
