We argue that the recent observations of large scale bulk flows by Kashlinsky et al. has a natural explanation in terms of super horizon in homogeneities induced by nonlocal entanglement of our Hubble volume with modes and domains beyond the horizon. This entanglement gives rise to corrections to the Newtonian potential on a characteristic scale L-1 similar or equal to 10(3) H-1, and it induces a dipole and quadrupole contribution in the CMB. We also show that these induced multipoles are aligned with each other, with the alignment axis normal to their plane being oriented along the preferred frame determined by the dipole. We also give other potential tests of our hypothesis.
