Hallo Rolf,
es sind Lichtsäulen, die durch künstliches Licht bei Schneefall entstanden sind.

FALSE AURORAS: Northern winter is coming. The temperature is dropping, and, if you're lucky, it's starting to snow outside. 'tis the season for false auroras. On Presque Isle, Maine, Scott Johnson spotted some two nights ago:

What are false auroras? They're better known as light pillars -- luminous columns caused by manmade lights hitting snow or ice crystals in the air. They may look remarkably like auroras, but there's no geomagnetic storm.

"The temperature was about 20o F," recalls Johnson, "and a very light, very fine snow was falling. The pillars were bright when my wife first called me out to see them. The sky had cleared between light snow showers. As the clouds moved back in they started to dim. It was a spectacular display--almost as much fun as real Northern Lights."
