Impressive light pillars recorded over Tyumen in Western Siberia

These are certainly new in the last decade.

Local resident and photographer Yevgenia shared pictures and video of the spectacular natural phenomenon, recorded at the beginning of December in Tyumen.

Dozens of vertical lights appeared in the sky just before midnight, and were visible for several minutes, prompting many residents to rush outside to enjoy the sight.

She posted on her Instagram: 'It was exactly midnight and quite cold outside, -15C degrees. I quickly grabbed the camera, pulled on my pants, put a pair of the most compact lenses in my jacket pockets, 50mm and 35mm, and run outside.

I love the aurora borealis as I first saw them back in 1986 to the NW and I didn`t know what it was back then,brand new to me then.

Then 1989 gave the most incredible display ever it could be seen all the way down into the equator vivid orange reds greens and yellows maybe blues too,never seen purple thats seems new to me,I saw them again in 2000 again incredible display.

Last time I saw them was in 2001 not seen them since solar minimum,missed the 2003 display that autumn.
