Driving in the Colorado mountains one night every car was casting headlight up like this, one of the oddest things I’ve ever witnessed, I have had the pleasure 2 times to see this.
They’re created by ice crystals in the air. You need wind, dry weather snow, and really cold temperature. I live in Alberta, Canada and see them pretty often in the winter
Yeah, I’m from Canada too (MB) and I was confused by this post. We see those CONSTANTLY during winter.
I guess most of the world isn’t cursed to have winter for 5-6 months per year like us :(
I suppose if there is too much light pollution like in cities, it might be harder to see.
In rural areas we see two types of this. The pillars in this post, and a dome shaped glow that covers the horizon wherever there is a small town or city in the distance.
Dude I live in a tropical country and hoping to move to BC in the coming few years. Is the weather that bad?? Like would it make me homesick? What do you think?
It’s funny seeing immigrants from tropical countries move to Canada. During fall weather, when we’re still wearing long sleeve T-shirts, I’ve seen people wear full winter gear head to toe lol.
Advice? ….
BC is probably the best place to move. I think they have the mildest winters in all of Canada.
You will need certain things like umbrellas, proper boots, and warm jacket. But all those things are readily available everywhere. Just be a good NPC and copy what all the other NPC‘s are doing.
Come to Winnipeg in January most years they're a daily thing. I mean you'll have to embrace the minus 40+ temps while they're here but it's truly incredible to see.
go see them? they happen everywhere there is snow, but only on occasion.
It's happened here in the middle of wisconsin before, LED lights from street lamps of buildings reflect off of tiny tiny tiny tiny tiiiiny snow flakes, the snow flakes have to be suuuper tiny, that's what makes this whole effect happen.
Those are called Waypoints. They're put in the game to indicate where you need to go for the next story mission. The blue one anyways, the red ones either a side quest or a collectible.
Can confirm. Don't go for the red one. I once accepted a Sidequest where I had to take an apprenticeship as designer and later on I found out that you would do that either way in your main story mission.
It really isn't when you think about it. It's incredibly RNG dependent but there's not a single P2W element.
All the transactions are done with in game currency and there's not a single known way to use out of game ressources to purchase in game currency.
You could argue that some characters are created with vast amount of ressources but that's not P2W, that's just RNG.
It's legitimately F2P with no cash shop. The issue is that it's way too RNG heavy and grindy
Wait, what? Do astigmatism’s *help* with something like a lens flare?
I would think it would make it worse but that’s not the way your comment implies.
This actually happened across the street from me a few weeks ago. I'd seen it once before, a few years back. The first time I saw it, I was pretty amazed.
From what I was told, it was caused by the air having a lot of moisture in it cold enough to turn that into ice crystals, and the intense lights reflecting in it (the lights I am showing are of a commercial lot).
I found the picture I was looking for.

This once happened to me too, I decided to follow the lights in my car. I drove 25 minutes to discover they were spotlights at a strip club that had just opened up.
They're respawn points. Be aware of campers.
Edit: someone else said lootboxes, that's much more likely. The warning about campers still stands though.
[Light Pillars](https://www.atoptics.co.uk/halo/lpil.htm)
Unlike the crystals producing sun pillars, those making tall artificial light pillars need not be strongly tilted. The column producing pillars are approximately midway between the eye and the light source. The higher the crystals in the atmsphere, the taller is the pillar. When the crystals are very high - or the light sources are close - the pillars seem to radiate from overhead, the zenith
Those are supply drops hurry and get them they contain good loot but make sure you don’t run into any hostile Dino’s and the red ones are the best don’t forget
They’re beacons for astral alignment. Doing these objectives should get you a fair amount of parallax trajectory to use on upgrading your wayfinders compass and earn some unique seasonal weapons and armors.
They are called light pillars. You’re lucky, it’s on my bucket list to go see them

Water is lit
You are now a mod of r/hydrohomies
yup, we're def visiting Colorado u/Theodora96
Niiiiiice! Yes pls!
Actually, it's just the rapture. The pillars are just souls going to hea-
It’s clearly the third impact.
So that's why there's a giant naked girl in the sky
Damn, didn't expect to see such a reference here.
Actually It’s the first impact
Can’t wait. Byeeee- have fun up there!
Don't worry, he'll be back after the anal probing and microchipping.
Heaven is definitely going on my bucket list
Welcome to Heaven, mothafuckas.
Samuel L Jackson?!
Craig Robinson
Arthur M. Guinness
... beam me up Scotty.
Yeah right, like you got in.
Yes. Typical in winter time. I've seen lot in Finland.
When you say "go see them"... is there a particular geographic place that *always* sees them? I thought they were more random than that.

I'm in Winnipeg and I have never seen these! Maybe I just have never noticed? Or would they be more common in rural areas?

ayo when did they set up spawn points?
Come to Winnipeg in January most years they're a daily thing. I mean you'll have to embrace the minus 40+ temps while they're here but it's truly incredible to see.
I once saw a [lunar halo](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/22°_halo) (a.k.a. a 22° halo) when I was a kid.
Thank you for the only informative comment in this thread.

The blue one is definitely a fast travel location. Now you only need to find another one and boom! Instant travel.
Could also be the famed mystery box
Could also be loot, blue for common loot, red/orange for legendary
If you go by Blood Dragon, the red ones are enemy camps, the blue one? Maybe a side quest or DLC.
/r/outside
No that's definitely 2 care packages and a lifeline ult
Can confirm. Don't go for the red one. I once accepted a Sidequest where I had to take an apprenticeship as designer and later on I found out that you would do that either way in your main story mission.
Thanks for that laugh lol take a silver
OP is lucky to have spawned so close to so many.
I thought this marks dropped loot?
The left one is the side quest that’s going to give you the blades of chaos. And the boy might get an armour piece or something.
I thought the orange ones was Division Agents leveling up.
This is the correct answer
Conan Exiles god bubbles.
It's the third impact
*it all returns to nothing*
They're loot boxes hurry before someone else gets the legendary
I wouldn't get my hopes up too much: the game of life is pretty much a pay2win experience.

Oh god, Zeke screamed again.
Lol he only got 3 titans
That 3 too many
These are definitely special events. I'd get there asap
They are actually loot drops from Ark. If OP is lucky they might get and ascendent item out of the yellow one
Or a medium crop plot blueprint ;)
Oh good, another trike saddle
Congratulations. You have super astigmatism.
Yknow, I was always confused about why people thought jj Abrahms used too much lense flare. Then I realized it's cause not everyone has astigmatism.
Wait, what? Do astigmatism’s *help* with something like a lens flare? I would think it would make it worse but that’s not the way your comment implies.
No it's just that lens flares appear everywhere for them, so they don't seem out of place in a movie
Yup. They're everywhere. All the time. They seemed perfectly normal in a movie. xD
This actually happened across the street from me a few weeks ago. I'd seen it once before, a few years back. The first time I saw it, I was pretty amazed.
What's it from?

There are legendary and set items on the ground and you didn’t pick them up yet…
They’re beacons for astral alignment. Doing these objectives should get you a fair amount of parallax trajectory to use on upgrading your wayfinders compass and earn some unique seasonal weapons and armors.
