Mum Kate Edwards, who lives in Banks, slightly north of Southport, was shocked to see the sky above her house lit up in red on Sunday night.
The 33-year-old ventured outside, alongside her brother and partner, after the World Cup final to look at the "ominous" looking sky.
Confused by the "flickering" red sky, she took to a local Facebook page to ask people what it was, the Liverpool Echo reports.
