Something You Don’t see Every Day

This is a photo of V-shaped light pillars. According to atmospheric optics expert Les Cowley, www.atoptics.co.uk...

“These light pillars are not just rare, they are exceptional!"
These rare pillars are formed with column shaped crystals while being aligned by horizontal by air resistance, and drifting slowly downwards to the ground.

Awesome pics! I have never seen this phenomenon before, but I'm sure if I saw it in person, I'd whip out my camera & snap some pics! Looks almost like a bunch of UFOs are beaming people up LOL. I saw a weird sight yesterday that this reminds me of. It was a cloudy day here & I saw what looked like a square rainbow by the sun. It was pretty strange. I did not see an arc & the colors were very pale but it was there. By the time I could pull off the road to take a pic, it was no longer visible : /

Sorry mate, but there's already a thread on it posted earlier today only a couple of posts below yours Right here
