Residents of the Japanese prefecture of Tottori witnessed an amazing and mysterious phenomenon that puzzled many. Mysterious vertical columns of light appeared in the night sky high above the ocean, which puzzled local residents and caused heated discussions on social networks. Were they aliens preparing to invade, or secret military tests?

Photos and videos that appeared on the Internet showed an incredible sight: bright rays of light stretching towards the sky, as if something or someone was descending from heaven. This mystical phenomenon attracted the attention of people from all over the world, and everyone wondered what was really behind these mysterious light pillars.

However, as it turned out, this phenomenon had a much more earthly and logical explanation related to natural atmospheric conditions and human activity.

Locals familiar with this phenomenon call it "Isaribi Kochu". It occurs under very specific atmospheric conditions, when ice crystals formed at high altitude interact with bright light sources. In this case, the light sources were lanterns used by fishermen to attract fish at night. The light reflecting off the ice crystals creates the illusion of vertical pillars stretching towards the sky.

Although this phenomenon is not uncommon in this region, its observation is very fascinating. Light pillars, which are an atmospheric optical phenomenon, can take on various shapes and sizes, sometimes even seem to be separate from the light source.

To see "Isaribi Kochu" is a real success for photographers and nature lovers, as this sight is both mysterious and beautiful.
