There were no thunderstorms in the area.
So many residents started attributing the pink water laguna to extraterrestrial events, like a meteorite falling to Earth, or supernatural events, like UFOs.
Meanwhile the pink water is being investigated.
Authorities suggest the weird pink color is due to minerals that dye the water of the small lake. This would be unprecedented in the region.
Another hypothesis – and much more plausible – is that pink algae are currently blooming in the very salty waters of the lagoon due to a perfect mix of high temperatures, sunlight and low rainfall. [Youtube, Lider Impresarial]
