Initial data
Unusual light pillars were seen in the night sky over the Korean city of Busan. More than ten of the glowing posts for three nights, appeared in the same location above the National Maritime Museum and the Han river bridge (see video below).
Strange formation, resembling a convex lens, called the locals bewilderment. Many people even suggested that it could be a UFO.
However, experts explain this phenomenon by the refraction of light, which is sometimes observed over the Eastern coast of Korea. According to local meteorologists, the ice crystals in the clouds are illuminated with powerful spotlights fishing vessels engaged in squid fishing.
