Default the weird color sky

Remember the first time that Apollo, Starbuck and Sheba land on the planet to find Iblis, that the light is really weird? But when they return, the light looks normal? I know that the technical reason is that whoever was filming that day forgot to put the filter back on the camera to create the weird light. And I am sure someone out there has come up with a fan fiction version as to why the color of the air was so eerie.
I have come up with a completely natural reason for the difference in the light. It happened Monday night around Cincinnati, Ohio, at sunset. The sky was breathtaking--and surreal. I took a photo of it from my apartment balcony, and plenty of people sent in their own shots to the local media. The meteorologists used the term "scattering," a rare but completely normal phenomenon regarding the molecules and ice crystals in the sky being hit by the sinking sun's rays.
Here is a link to the photo that I took.

So perhaps when the three warriors landed on the planet, it was near sunset after a storm.
