Alex Grakhovskaya from Krichev, Mogilev region observed light poles, on 7 February 1999, at around 7 PM.

The phenomenon lasted about 4 hours, all this time the objects remained stationary and the shape did not change. Regarding the form of the light poles, he writes:

So as a phenomenon I wasn't very far away, the pillars (there were two) can be compared with an ordinary ballpoint pen at arm's length; the right one was a little higher, brighter and thicker than the left. Unfortunately, our reader did not see the moment of appearance and disappearance of the pillars.

He says:

It seemed that the pillars glowed not from the earth, as it were, in the middle, I am even sure that the way it was." As an explanation of the nature of the light poles Alexei Grakhovskaya suggested that the phenomenon may be caused by the effect of decomposition and oxidation of the phosphate deposits or phosphate, which are available in Krichev and Gomel in large quantity. In particular, in Gomel in double superphosphate plant, bring 400,000 tons of Apatite concentrate and 200,000 tonnes of Dar from Bryansk.

There is an Association with phosphorus cemeteries glow - in fresh graves, albeit in a much smaller form. However, as admitted by the author of the letter, it is difficult in this case to understand why the pillars glow is not from the earth but from the inside?
