A strange rectangular anomaly that appeared in the night sky over the city of Jinan, located in eastern China, puzzled local residents, who called it a "door to the sky."

The video was shot on August 13, 2017, and after it appeared on social networks, a lot of people are asking the same question: 

"What is it?"

After watching the video, many are convinced that an interdimensional portal has opened over Jinan, which even one of the users of the World Wide Web wrote in the comments:

"The door to the universe is open."

Someone compared a large dark rectangular UFO with a magic "magic carpet" or with a huge mobile phone. However, more serious and sober-minded viewers are sure that the strange geometric figure in the sky is just a projection of a glowing spotlight on dark and dense clouds.

In recent years, Chinese residents have witnessed many amazing celestial phenomena resembling aerial skyscrapers and even entire cities, which are considered a very complex form of mirages and are called "fata morgana". It is possible that the "heavenly gate" may be one of these optical phenomena.

Light sources on clouds

Lasers, searchlights, car headlights and other light sources of sufficient power can form a column of light in a dusty or foggy atmosphere, various patterns on low clouds, fog or haze. Also, the rays can highlight parts of the cloud, objects or birds, giving them bizarre shapes.

Searchlights can shine with one beam, several. They can be stationary, move, and also form spinning carousels on the clouds, which can change shape and color.

It often seems that the light source is located at the point where the beam hits the cloud, and not vice versa.

The projection image on various surfaces

Apparatus for apparatus for the projection of images on different surfaces was common in the 17th century. They were called "Magic lantern" (lat. Laterna magica; magic lantern, fantascope, skioptikon, lampascope, vague pictures, etc.).

Initially, magic lantern was used for the entertainment of princes and noblemen. However, he soon became very popular among the common people. Too much popularity magic lantern made him a laughing stock in the eyes of many people. Now it shows on the streets and entertain their children and people.
