An eyewitness from the town of DARP (Drenthe region) writes:

3 objects seemed to slowly fall to Earth like fireball meteorites, so they went to Earth first, but only a few. Minutes later, they slowly rose again, so they lifted off the ground in a very strange way.

PS you can't see them in the picture, but if you look closely, you can see 1 of the 3 fireballs

According to ufomeldpunt.nl - these are light poles that can only be seen in icy air in very calm weather. This is due to the fact that ice crystals are necessary to reflect the light source from the ground.

Original news

DARP, DR — De 3 opjecten leken als vuurbal meteorieten langzaam in te slaan op aarde dus gingen ze eerst naar aarde toe maar naar een paar. Minuten gingen ze langzaam weer naar boven dus gingen ze van de aarde af heel vreemd, P.S op de foto zijn ze niet goed te zien maar als je goed kijkt zie je 1 van de 3 vuurballen

Reflectie

Deze lichtpilaren of lichtzuilen kunnen alleen worden waargenomen in ijskoude lucht bij zeer rustig weer. Er zijn namelijk ijskristallen nodig die de lichtbron op de grond moeten reflecteren.

Hypotheses

Ice needles

Solid precipitation in the form of fine ice crystals floating in the air, resulting in cold weather (air temperature below -10...-15°). Day sparkle in the light of the sun, at night in the moonlight or by the light of lanterns. Often ice needles form at night beautiful glowing "pillars", coming from the lanterns up in the sky.
Occur most often during clear or cloudy the sky, sometimes fall from cirrostratus or Cirrus clouds.

Light (solar) pole

One of the most frequent types of halo, a visual phenomenon, an optical effect which is a vertical band of light stretching from the sun during sunset or sunrise.
