Some have decided that all of this strange celestial "show" like a star map. Conspiracy theorists, as expected, talking about the unknown, in layman's global things, for example, about the coming end of the world or conceal relations of the government with the aliens.
However, local meteorologists quickly slowed down the ardor of fans of the paranormal, saying that the residents witnessed a rare natural phenomenon called light pillars. It is usually peculiar to those places where the climate is cold and any light ( emitted by the sun, moon or lights) are reflected from the crystalline ice particles in the air.
It should be noted, this phenomenon is very rare over tropical Shenzhen, where the temperature is currently about 34 degrees Celsius.

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.
