The night sky. Due to the cold weather, considerable ice has accumulated in the surrounding area. At such a time, large light pillars were suddenly seen across the sky. On March 5, people in the Manitoba region of Canada witnessed such an incident. What's the matter? Why is such a supernatural phenomenon occurring? Could it be an alien invasion? Or has Christ's Last Day of Judgment arrived?
No, there is no reason to be afraid. It is neither an attack by other creatures from the universe nor any supernatural event. The appearance of such light pillars in the sky is merely a natural phenomenon. A photographer from that region of Canada captured that rare moment with his camera. Photos and videos from that time have also spread widely on social media.
What is visible in the pictures?
One can see vertical light beams one after another in the ice-covered area. That light has covered the entire area. Just like some unknown city from a fairy tale.
Why did such an incident occur?
Generally, in very cold countries, where the temperature is below the freezing point, small transparent ice crystal particles float in the air. On storm-free nights, when light falls on those ice particles, those particles behave like mirrors.
What is the source of this light?
Such 'pillars' can be created from any strong light source. Generally, these pillars can be formed from moonlight or sunlight and even from streetlight.
In the area called Manitoba in Canada, where these light pillars were seen, the temperature has been below freezing since the beginning of March. The sky is clear and cloudless. As a result, in calm weather, ice particles can float in the air.
However, these 'light pillars' can also be a sign of danger. When such light pillars are seen, a major storm may arrive within a few days. Just like in Manitoba, exactly one day after the light pillars were seen, a tornado struck. However, no major damage from its impact has been reported.
What causes tornado formation?
Forecasting Manitoba's weather is quite difficult. Although there is severe cold here at the beginning of March, warm air occasionally moves in. As a result, a low-pressure axis is created. Then tornadoes are formed due to the collision between cold air and warm air.
