I strongly suspect the Marfa Lights (in Texas) are the land version of this exact phenomenon. In that case, car headlights looking like they are floating above the land horizon instead of boats over the water horizon.
- sixstringtheory 6y agoAnother headlight phenomenon, "light pillars": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_pillar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_pillar Really freaked me out the first time I saw some moving about on a dark country road from other cars off in the distance.
- ksaj 6y agoI saw them only one time in my life, a few decades ago. I was leaving a band practice, and the drummer's sister and I were pretty blown away when we noticed it. Well, that's an understatement, because you couldn't miss it. Every light that could be seen was at the base of a pillar. We didn't know why it was happening, but we were pretty impressed. Pictures do not give you the full experience, since there is a huge 3D element to how they appear, too.
