Pillar Of Orange Light St Albert Alberta (Video)


Date:  December 28, 2018
Time:  From approximately 8:35 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.

Hey, yep so I saw the bright light from my clinic in St Albert and so did my colleague (and many others according to a St. Albert Facebook page.). My colleague's brother and my friend saw it from 137 Avenue area.

I have pictures from both locations.

Lots of people suggesting that it was due to the large flares at the refinery yesterday, with the light from that reflecting off the ice crystals in the air.

It was phenomenal to watch. Lasted about 25 minutes, from approximately 8:35 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.

Pillar (Vertical Shaft) Of Orange Light Above St. Albert Alberta (Picture)


Date:  December 28, 2018
Time:  Approx: 8:30 p.m.

Pillar of orange light tonight over Edmonton 2018 December 28, 2018 around 8:30 p.m.

Unfortunately, I was in a bright parking lot North of Edmonton in St. Albert and only had my iPhone so it’s not a great shot.

It was a bright orange vertical shaft of light. Heavy ice crystals in the air tonight.

Thank you to the witness for their report and their photo.

Pillar Of Light Spotted Over Hamilton Ontario

 
Date:  February 18, 2012
Time:  Approx: 12:30 a.m.
 
Hi Brian, my boyfriend and I saw something like this in Hamilton, ON at about 12:30 a.m. Saturday, February 18, 2012. 

It was visible for about 15-20 seconds and then faded out. Scared the crap out of me! 

Appeared almost directly above, and slightly to the north.

Shaft Of Orange Light Seen In The Sky Over Edmonton Alberta (Case Solved – Light Pillar Ice Crystals)

 
Posted:  January 16, 2012 
 
Vike Factor Note: Recently a number of sighting reports came from folks who reside in Edmonton, Alberta. People reported seeing a strange vertical bright orange beam of light in the sky over Edmonton Alberta.
 
I wasn’t sure what the people were/had seen so I started looking around the internet to see if there was a reasonable explanation for what was observed.
 
For me, two ideas came up, one thought was that people may have seen an “Aurora/Northern Lights” and the other possibly was a “Light Pillar”.
 
After researching a little more, I found that the “Light Pillar” was going to make more sense as to the cause for this sighting that took place on January 11, 2012 at approximately 11:00 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.
 
I therefore, wrote an email to the TELUS World of Science – Edmonton, Alberta and the Edmonton Sun newspaper. I was hoping one or both parties might be able to help in solving this mystery.
 
First thing Monday morning I received a nice response from Mr. Frank Florian B.Sc., B.Ed from the TELUS World of Science and he confirmed my thoughts on the light as being, a “Pillar of Light”
 
Below is Mr. Frank Florian’s reply to me:
 
Hi Brian, you are correct in your assumption that the effect of the vertical shaft of light was due to ice crystals.  We just had a cold front move into the Edmonton area bringing temperatures down to below -20 Celcius and many individuals saw various atmospheric effects from the ice crystals that formed in the air, everything from Sun pillars and Parry Arcs during the day to light pillars off street lights and other bright light sources in the evening. 

Here is an email I received from a fellow Royal Astronomical of Canada (RASC) Edmonton Centre member who took a photograph of a Sun pillar and Parry arc with a website that describes the phenomenon:

Vike Factor Note: Here is the website address, but I have not included the photo.

Member of the Royal Astronomical of Canada (RASC) comment: I took this at 4:06 January 15, 2012. Sun pillar capped with a Parry arc. More about Parry arcs here: http://www.atoptics.co.uk/halo/parry1.htm

Also below, is another sighting report on the vertical light with photos an eye witness filmed.

Pillar Of Light Filmed Over Edmonton Alberta (Pictures)
 
Date:  January 11, 2012
Time:  Approx: 11:30 p.m.
 
Number of witnesses: 2
Number of Objects: 1
 
Full Description of Event/Sighting: Orange vertical light in sky, looked like the sky was opening up. It was really bright, almost pulsating. Too big to be a ship I think, but it was defiantly unexplainable at least to me.
 
I took two pictures, but they are really grainy as my camera is not made for night time. The two pictures are © 2012 Steven Townsend.
 
Below are some website links that explain what causes this light effect:

Also here is a link to YouTube where an eyewitness shot some video tape of the sighting over Edmonton, Alberta on January 11, 2012 the Pillar of Light.
 
Below are some of the other reports that were filed to me.

I would like to thank all of the people who sent in their sighting reports, and also my thanks to Mr. Frank Florian’s for his kind and very helpful email.

Pillar Of Light Observed Over Edmonton Alberta

 
Date:  January 11, 2012
Time:  Between 11:00 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.
 
We saw it too in downtown Edmonton and texted our friend to look too. We got video and photos as well but I don't think they turned out very well. We thought maybe it was a single northern light, but it didn't wave, just pulsated.
 
At first it was very bright red, then slowly faded into bright orange, then faded away in time.

Pillar Lake, Outside Of Falkland British Columbia Bright Object

Posted: July 28, 2008

Date: July 26, 2008
Time: 9:30 - 10:00 p.m.

Location of Sighting: Pillar Lake, outside of Falkland BC.
Number of witnesses: 7
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Round very bright white light.

Full Description of event/sighting: We were all sitting around the campfire and I was reclined in a lounge chair looking at the sky and we were all talking. It was overcast in parts of the sky and clear in other parts. Suddenly from behind the overcast section this very large bright light starting moving across are field of vision, I said look at that we were all like, wow bright light. It may have been a satellite though because it was moving in a steady slow path, but after it left our vision I was still looking around to the direction it moved when a very bright light moved over the silhouette of the tree-line and it was bright white and neon green, blue and add a bit of a streak behind it. (much like a comet would have than just disappeared while it was moving in the opposite direction that the first one we saw came from.(or it came back)

This one moved very erratic flew up like it was shot up like an arrow leaving a bow moved across the clear portion of sky left that streak tail look to it and just disappeared. Very strange. Watched the sky for and hour after and didn't see anything else. By the way this Pillar Lake has this neat rock/column that looks like an old pillar standing in the middle of the forest about 150ft tall with a big rock sitting on the top of it. No other rocky terrain around it. I have no idea how it was created. Very neat though.

Thank you to the witness for their report.
