Initial data
An eyewitness from the city of Nieuwstadt reports:
Static points of light visible in the clouds, which in turn disappeared and reappeared in other places. It wasn't the moon, it could be seen through the clouds to the south.
It was a bit like a searchlight on the clouds, but I didn't see any rays from the ground, and it had to change in intensity with the passage of the clouds.
Original news
NIEUWSTADT, LB — Statische lichtpunten zichtbaar in de wolken die om de beurt verdwenen en op andere plekken weer verschenen. Het was niet de maan, deze was in zuidelijke richting door de wolken heen te zien. Het leek een beetje op een schijnwerper op de wolken maar ik zag geen stralen vanaf de grond en deze zou ook in intensiteit moeten zijn veranderen bij langsdrijvende wolken.
Hypotheses
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.

Investigation
Externally, the objects are really very similar to the rays of a searchlight on low clouds.
