An eyewitness from the city of Lelystad writes:

At ground level in a completely dark Oostvaardersplassen, where there are no other objects, a bright white / blue light in the shape of a cloud and a sharp beam of light directed upwards.

I am a train driver and noticed it from the passenger compartment while I was driving towards them. I figured the light should have been coming down the track after a few big turns. At first I thought of an oncoming train with very large floodlights.

At the turn, after which I expected the light to come back into view, I prepared to be blinded by it. But after this turn, it suddenly disappeared/went out.

Original news

LELYSTAD, FL — Op maaiveld niveau in de verder volslagen donkere Oostvaardersplassen, waar verder geen objecten zijn, een fel wit/blauw licht met wolkvormige uitstraling en scherpe lichtbundel een beetje omhoog gericht.Ik ben treinmachinist en nam dat vanuit de cabine waar terwijl ik er naar toe reed. Ik schatte in dat het licht zich na een aantal grote bochten langs het spoor moest bevinden. Ik dacht aanvankelijk een tegentrein met erg grote schijnwerpers. Voor een bocht waarna ik het licht weer in het zicht verwachtte, maakte ik me op erdoor te worden verblind. Maar na die bocht was het ineens weg. Gedoofd.

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.
