I have every night since the first of december seen the strange glow at both of the opposite horizons. It is very strong and makes the clouds visible. What is this?

I don't mean at all to be in any way rude or belittling, but it could possibly be the glow of street lights.

They do give off sort of an eery glow at night.

No. If that was the case, the glow would have been seen in all directions. Furthermore, I have lived here for ten years through all seasons and I have never seen anything like it before.

I would very much like to see pictures, if you have them.

It would be easier to possibly determine what it could be!

How I have tried, but such a picture would require long exposure and a camera other than the one I currently posses, which is an old nokia phone.

It's almost as if this fog everyone is seeing hides something during the day. Then again I could just be a loon.

yes I also have noticed an orange glow in the evening and we don't live close to a town. But the #1 thing that bothered me a few weeks ago was the bright red sun, and normally that tells us the next day will be Hot, or that day even. Well at that point it was in the 30's in the day so it surely didn't mean the heat was coming.

I have seen an orange glow in the sky as well. Its really weird, as the area I saw the glow wasn't over where any lights are, and I kept trying to figure out what it was, but eventually couldn't and gave up. I haven't noticed in the past couple days though.

I have experienced, a few times in the past couple of weeks, while the sun is setting in the west there is a orange/pink glow. At the same time to the east is the same glow. I questioned a friend about this wondering how could the same glow be opposite of where the sun is setting. The few times I had noticed this there was the most beautiful blue sky in between. This was seen from the blue ridge mountains.

Exactly the same phenomena I was describing. Perhaps it could be and optical illusion? A mirage?

Funny this thread came up, just mentioned to my wife tonight at dark that there is a weird looking orange glow above the sunset tonight. Could be normal & attributed to sunset but it was different enough to comment to her on it.

Did not take a photo, did not see sunset as its overcast and the mountains across the water on Van Isl. were shrouded in clouds right up to about a 1/4 of the sky above the horizon where there was a sharp orange line with a dissipating orange glow above it. and then grey clouds above over the rest of the sky.

It looked neat but i'm sure just normal & explainable.

Edit: will look east as well tomorrow if it appears again.

I have seen this is as well, I live in a rural area of middle Tennessee.

I just checked outside and don't see it tonight, but I have noticed it rather frequently in the past month or two.
