A photo taken by a Bristol Live reader showing a mysterious green glow in the sky over the city has sparked a fierce debate on Facebook as to what could have caused it. Jane Youden, who took the photos in Shirehampton, believes she may have witnessed the Northern Lights, having only recently seen the phenomena while on holiday in Iceland.
On Facebook, Zoë Fidock posted a photo showing a similar site and said: "I saw the same last week from Gloucestershire, in a South Westerly direction - Fri 17 Feb 10 pm", while Craig Jukes said: "Saw this in Calne last night, near Chippenham... And this was seen in Plymouth as well."
Sophi Morgan said: "We [weren't] going mad driving home", and Kelly Fletcher wrote: "I have also seen this and live South Bristol, I thought it was lights from the city ground." There were plenty of other suggestions for large buildings that may have been emitting the light.
