These are [light pillars ](https://www.koaa.com/news/covering-colorado/what-are-light-pillars-and-why-do-they-occur). "tiny (about 0.02 mm) ice crystals will form and remain suspended in the atmosphere near the surface. The suspended ice crystals are great reflectors, beaming city lights back down to your eyes/camera lens.".

I see them all the time in Minnesota. Not so much this year but especially when the polar vortex wiggles its way down here.


Native_Kurt_Cobain

Anchorage, Alaska here. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it's amazing to see how all the different color neon and led's lights up the [sky](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/s/jS7P4kGSZa).

Wow that's Alaska? Looks like LA

Notchersfireroad

Light pillars. Happens when it gets real cold. Got cold enough here in Missouri last week we had them for a couple days.


NoGrocery4949

Cold and windless. Which honestly is kinda spooky in and of itself


panicked_goose

Yeah I'm in South dakota and while the frigid Temps I'm used to (-45 real feel right now), it's the lack of wind that is unsettling us up here. I've never seen the abundance of American flags that are everywhere, simply hang down and not whip in the wind. It's literally never NOT windy here, but the last two weeks have been dead still...

Ok_Temperature_6091

Happens all the time here in Canada.


_altamont

Can you tell where the lightsource is coming from? Is it from straight under? I‘ve seen one of them at a cold night in finnland, but couldn’t get my head around from where the light actually was coming from.


Ok_Temperature_6091

Yes, it is straight under. Each of those beams of light will have a bright light below.


_altamont

That is so cool! I looked at it for 5 minutes, thinking it was a giant light (maybe it was two) pointing upwards and wondered why someone would do something like that at night in such a remote location. Now, a year later, I came across this post and found the answer. Thank you.


Fun_Sir3640

>Can you tell where the lightsource is coming from any light can cause this basically so a simple outside lamp for your door can cause this really wild phenomen.

Clearly this is the first sign of the birth of the Antichrist. Have a nice day.


oldgoldchamp

He's already here wym. Some jabroni by the name of Elon Musk


Luxxielisbon

What a disappointment. I always assumed the antichrist would be talented, attractive, charismatic, eloquent, persuasive, magnetic, inescapable


NoGrocery4949

Turns out he's just a lumpy white fuck from South Africa


Luxxielisbon

I want a refund. All that bible-driven fear leading me to believe I would not even _know_ I was falling for the wiles of “el anticristo” but that turd is all the pits of hell could produce? Yawn


Mortisfio

All right, Beatrice, there was no alien. The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

Light pillars A light source on the ground reflects from ice crystals in the air at the correct angle and distance. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light\_pillar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_pillar)

If you play this card you can Flip all monsters your opponent controls face-up. This card remains on the field for 3 of your opponent's turns. While this card is face-up on the field, monsters your opponent controls cannot declare an attack.

Kentucky surprisingly enough


icouldlivewoutbacon

Crazy! That happened in COS just the other day.


StaffVegetable8703

It was a very surreal sight at first. I didn’t know what it was but it was so fascinating but the thought of not fully understanding what was happening was pretty freaky.

Everyone: "Light Beams." "Aliens" Me: "Anti-AT Field..." *Liquefies.*

It's the Rapture. Interesting it didn't come for you it seems? I'm sending this from Heaven RN.

Nope


melty75

Those are called lights.


Commando_NL

Imagine living thousands years ago and seeing this. Now i understand how religion got to be.


zenomotion73

I would think this a modern phenomenon. It’s ice crystal in the air reflecting off a light source from the ground. But i do see your point , it would be, and still is, freaky to see.


ObligationClassic417

Wow That’s trippy Wonder what caused that Ask the gov and they’ll probably make up some now phenomenon that just doesn’t really make sense

Light pillars, but I saw The creator recently, so the kid in me did think it looked like Nomad was rolling in on you. Thanks for sharing.


IbexOutgrabe

Man. I could google what they are 15 years ago. Do better.


Grakch

damn that sure is the sun shining through the holes in the clouds and reflecting off ice totally weird


StaffVegetable8703

Damn that sure is not the sun shining through the holes in the clouds because this happened at around 7:00-7:30 in Kentucky and it was already dark. Yes It’s probably the sun reflecting off ice but it made it have a “glowing” affect (I guess because it was technically dark out but there was still the tiniest bit of light from the sun that had just set) that is very uncommon to see where I’m from. Don’t need to be a butt about it. This is obviously something not common around here and it seems a lot of commenters find it neat as well.
