Re: Unusual Light Pillars Over Latvia (2009 January 12)

I also think it's a result of a temperature layer, where the upper layer changes the composition of the ice crysals and causes the light beam to fan out. Perhaps there may be records that indicate if temperature layers is common in the area. Perhaps even for that particular time.
