We were sitting in the garden on Monday (27/3) and we noticed something similar, i'm over 50 and have never seen those colours in the sky before, very turquoise and also an unusual purple. Very visible to the naked eye, I must try and upload pic / vid, maybe someone could educate me as to what it was (if not any of the above).

Here is a video, though the camera does not do the colour vibrancy much justice.
