Dee Harrison was walking through Suffolk, England, early in the morning when she spotted the glow.

The 56-year-old shared a photo of a warm, red glow on Facebook, captioning it, “Guess it is the aurora, not seen one before.”

The post garnered hundreds of comments from people who had to burst her bubble, explaining that the “beautiful” glare was actually from Suffolk Sweet Tomatoes’ LED light units, which are used to assist in the growth of its stock.

A tomato factory worker, Adam Cotterell, commented on the post: “They are lights from a local tomato factory. It has full spectrum lights that shine red into the sky when there is low-lying fog or cloud. I live up the road and have seen it a few times.”

Harrison told The Independent: “I was on my way to work and noticed what I thought was something on fire through the trees.

“I parked up and thought I could see what was the aurora borealis. I was a little disappointed to find out it wasn’t as I thought I had it all for myself.”

The mistake comes just a few weeks after the real Northern Lights were spotted across the UK.

Australia was also treated to some beautiful Southern Lights, also known as Aurora Australis, in the past month.

The lights were spotted in parts of Western Australia, Victoria and New South Wales

Sean Elvidge, a professor in space environment at the University of Birmingham, explained to the BBC that the auroras have been particularly visible in 2024 due to the biggest geomagnetic storm since 2003.
