The observer Denis Chikalov wrote on a ufo website.lv:

Hello!

In the chat, I started a conversation about their observations. My attention was attracted by a strange phenomenon that I and my friends physics was unable to explain. The fact that in mid-December last year, returning home at 12 o'clock , in a small nebula(even though it was almost unnoticeable), and at a temperature of about minus 30 Celsius , me and my companions were able to observe the same phenomenon .

The bottom line is that over conventional lamps for road lighting, with the usual reflector , appeared ...vertical white pillars that you can see with the naked eye. It just wasn't like the glare of light as if squinting .

The post was visible even when the lantern was closed by buildings . No matter how we looked at the glowing column, he didn't change his angle was exactly perpendicular to the Ground. Close to the pillars as not to be seen only at a distance (about 50-100 meters away from the observation point). With him we had no video equipment , so the phenomenon didn't manage to shoot. How many now drive in the evenings, this could not more to see.

To get an accurate figure you need to further clarify the exact shape of the reflector , and editor better to put (in Corel 10 there is not enough space) , if not lost interest in send later , but in General the image should look like this :post with the usual reflector, and over it a white post located exactly perpendicular to the ground , a column is visible if you can see the lantern and if the lantern is closed by buildings.

If something is unclear in the description please ask.

Thank you for your attention . Sincerely C. D. S.

Without photos it is difficult to understand, but based on the descriptions of ochevidna, this light pole (Light pillar) is a visual atmospheric phenomenon, an optical effect which is a vertical band of light stretching from the Sun during sunset or sunrise (by night there are also the poles of the moon, bright planets or terrestrial light sources). The phenomenon is called reflection of light on a nearly horizontal flat faces, flat or hexagonal columnar ice crystals suspended in the air.
