What Are They? Mysterious "Pillars of Light" Phenomenon Across The Globe!

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


If you have ever been privy to the phenomenon of light pillars, then you know it is truly an amazing sight. They appear when the weather is extremely cold and form vertical columns of light beaming directly towards the sky. They are created when light from the sun, moon, streetlamps, or any terrestrial source, reflects on the surface of a flat piece of ice crystal. 

When the light source is close to the ground, the light pillar appears above the floating crystals. When the light comes from the sun or moon, the light pillar can appear beneath them, too, as the light refracts through the crystals. It is truly amazing! 

Here are some fascinating photos by TheScariestMovieEver

Here is a diagram showing the formation of light pillars from street lamps (left) and the reflection of light rays from plate ice crystal surfaces (right):

      What about CHEMTRAIL/HAARP weather/population control program, in my 70 plus years never ear or see any thing like that before, why now?.

      • MSG Chicken

        Agreed! Never been mentioned before. Surely, (apologies to Shirley) this phenomena would of been noticed before?

        Made up stuff?

        • gspat

          this phenomenon HAS been noticed before… It’s common in cold areas/

          This is the same thing/idea as sun dogs… refracted light.

      • I Believe in TRUTH

        well since Haarp has been shut down over over six months… I’d guess that’s a good question. ;) Too many nutjobs wtih too much time on their hands looking for a boogieman behind every bush in order to make themselves feel important I guess.

      Silver is shinny, and they have been chemtrailing the crap out of us for years now….. I bet it is all the chemicals, toxins and poisons they have polluting our air with….

      Just like with the snow….you can’t say it’s normal, but full of pollutants! The majority of things are water soluble and therefor it is NOT normal….. it never amazes me how people will except that what they see is wrong as long as the talking head on the tv says so…….. just like when it snowed 2 inches in Richmond on morning and the radio news continued to say it wasn’t, even though you were driving in it……

      This isnt something new,,,its not something that just mysteriously appeared ,,,its been around for as long as its been getting cold,,,and I do mean cold,,,it has to be aleast near zero and lower for this to even take place,,,if your in an area that that rarely happens,,,you will probably go 100 years and not see this,,,just saying

    • Mr Fred Rogers

      I have seen it here in Michigan most of this winter…. Because it has been WAY too cold…. They look pretty… but nothing out of the ordinary… Just more people are seeing it now because the cold is pushing further south this year…

      Are you sure that aliens aren’t behind it?

        Your book is poop..Whta a way to scam people.

    • NWO AGENDA

      Sorry Ms. Author but that which you describe is 100% false!

    • MrAnthony

      Lisa, I am pleased to see that you are finding a real, fact-based explanation of a natural event.

      What a welcome change from the usual stuff on BIN.

      Thank you.

      • Omega Files

        You must be in a good mood today

    • Ahura Madza

      Yes, ice crystals or light fog in the air will cause this. See it a few times a year here in Northern Canada.

      Signs in the heavens, wake up! Theres been a host of things that “we’ve never seen” or experienced as of late. Something is happening all around us on so many levels its not funny. The sad thing is, so many out there call these abnormal events normal… WHEN THEY ARE NOT NORMAL OCCURENCES!

    • FarmerX

      Uh, them are called spot lights, some are called street lamps. They function on electricity.

      Apparently the chemicals being used for chem trailing show up very well when it’s cold out and there is light shined on it.

    • Don't be hating!

      Chemtrails and Geoengineering!
