Unusual multi-colored lights appeared on Saturday 25 July in the Chinese Shenzhen. Local residents felt that the ships of the representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations. However, the experts figured out what was going on and explained the reason of this phenomenon. According to the news edition of the Daily Star.

In the video, posted online, visible colored lights, resulting in a cloudy sky. Someone of the witnesses felt that it was a UFO. Some have decided that all of this strange celestial "show" like a star map. Conspiracy theorists, as expected, talking about the unknown, in layman's global things, for example, about the coming end of the world or conceal relations of the government with the aliens.

However, local meteorologists quickly slowed down the ardor of fans of the paranormal, saying that the residents witnessed a rare natural phenomenon called light pillars. It is usually peculiar to those places where the climate is cold and any light ( emitted by the sun, moon or lights) are reflected from the crystalline ice particles in the air.

It should be noted, this phenomenon is very rare over tropical Shenzhen, where the temperature is currently about 34 degrees Celsius.
