Beam me up: Scientists left baffled as mysterious columns of coloured light appear in the night skies


These stunning images show mysterious columns of light streaming into the sky above the town of Sigulda in Latvia at the end of last month.
Taken by designer Aigar Truhins with a standard digital camera, the photographs have prompted excited online discussions among amateur astronomists all over the internet.
'My son exclaimed, 'The aliens are coming!'' Truhins was quoted as saying.


'It certainly looked that way,' he added.

But experts are agreed there may be a more prosaic explanation - ice crystals in the air.

The air above the town was notably cold and filled with suspended ice crystals.
It is believed that the columns were formed by those reflecting light from the bright streetlamps and other lights on the ground - beaming it back downwards again.
Skies all over Europe have been filled with such natural phenomena during the cold snap of recent weeks.

Oh dear, another pathetic attempt to cover up whatever this really is. The "natural phenomena theory" is so over used now, that they really ought to come up with a new line.:roftl:

I will go with that explanation. I would guess that the orange one of the left would be a high pressure sodium lamp and the one one the right a metal hylide lamp.
