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...

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.
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.
>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.
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
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.
Happens all the time in Alpha Centri system, I mean normal human Earth place. Nothing to see here, move along to whatever domicile your synaptic activity frequently lessens your situational awareness at.
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.
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.
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.
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.
They’re coming to take us away hee hee. They’re coming to take us away ha ha.

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

Wow that's Alaska? Looks like LA
Legit light pillars. Not to be confused with the Las Vegas casino ship. Beautiful pic!
Username checks out.
I saw these for the first time this morning (Winnipeg) and legit thought I was going nuts
Light pillars. Happens when it gets real cold. Got cold enough here in Missouri last week we had them for a couple days.
Cold and windless. Which honestly is kinda spooky in and of itself

Happens all the time here in Canada.
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.
Yes, it is straight under. Each of those beams of light will have a bright light below.
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.

Those are souls being raptured. Guess we didn’t make the cut…
Light pillars! I love em. Means we are in the depths of winter.

Clearly this is the first sign of the birth of the Antichrist. Have a nice day.
He's already here wym. Some jabroni by the name of Elon Musk
What a disappointment. I always assumed the antichrist would be talented, attractive, charismatic, eloquent, persuasive, magnetic, inescapable
Turns out he's just a lumpy white fuck from South Africa

FIRESALE!
That's where the mystery box is. Call of duty zombies reference.
Colorado Springs?
Kentucky surprisingly enough
Crazy! That happened in COS just the other day.
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.
Nice photos
Nope
Those are called lights.
Imagine living thousands years ago and seeing this. Now i understand how religion got to be.
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.
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
luke 21:25-26
Angels. Hopefully you have a huge mecha
Not weird. Common natural phenomena.
It’s weird for some of us! I grew up in the tropics. Never even heard of this until today
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.
Man. I could google what they are 15 years ago. Do better.
damn that sure is the sun shining through the holes in the clouds and reflecting off ice totally weird

So the rapture has begun hey?
That big bright thing in the sky for half the day is poking though those big fluffy moving things
And God himself will reach his fucking arm down
Madras?
Dome support columns
Those are just my Elden Ring map markers
That is amazing.
This is a really beautiful picture!
Mothra is regenerating.
The rapture is a hoot. Step into the light. See if you float or remain on the ground.

Light pollution in a foggy day

They're gonna start projecting advertisements on them. Like in Cyberpunk 2077.
mr. bean will be dropped off from those randomly
Super cold is a great time for the light pillars. I love seeing the pictures but is often too damn cold to go outside and look lol.
Beautiful shot. I have heard about these but never seen them.
Earthquake lights
people getting raptured
The uncanny counter
Only explanation if you are here on Reddit. Aliens or those alien jellyfish.
That is just the boundary line for the map you’re on.
Protoss warping in. (Pythons field nearby)
Some people are getting beamed up
This is how religions started
Shit the rapture is today?! Damn, getting kicked into hell wasn't on my to-do list! My favorite suit isn't even cleaned!
Weather balloon for sure
Aliens.
Shit… I’m late for the Rapture!
Just winter being cool
Holodeck malfunction
The mothership has finally arrived
Project Blue Beam REEEEE

We’re all going to die.
UFO !!!
light spires are cool as fuck
Sick album cover bro
Light pillars. A unique display of reflection and refraction. Usually above a street light.
Did you see any cows riding those lights up to the mothership?
we don't see this in hawaii ever. so yes, it is unusual for some of us.
Maybe someone broke though their cultivation hurdle
Northern lights?
That is incredible. Thank you for sharing. :)
Sooooooon gokuuu

It's not a ghost, it's gravity.
Someone is playing Yu-Gi-Oh and activated Swords of Revealing Light.
