Here is a brief breakdown on how this phenomenon occurs.<\/p>\n
In extremely cold temperatures when ice crystals form in the atmosphere. These ice crystals\u00a0 drift down through the atmosphere. And together they give off a mirror like effect as light shines on them. The more solid the crystal is the brighter you can see them.<\/p>\n
Light sources that will produce these are likely going to be street lights, lights from buildings sometimes depending on conditions even moon light. Since these crystals are dropping down in a vertical position and shift to a primary horizontal by a few degrees to the person looking at the light source will see these as pillars.<\/p>\n
