Pacific Ocean - Bright Light in the Sky

My thoughts about the latest video showing a bright light in the Pacific Ocean - it's just clouds

Pacific Ocean - Bright Light in the Sky

Catching up with my UFO YouTube channels this morning, I stumbled across a new video from ThirdPhaseofMoon showing an insanely bright light emanating from the sky.

What first looks like an upturned wine glass, the white light struggles to gain focus from the video maker's camera.

What is it?

The general rule of thumb when looking at light sources is "Which end is bigger".  A larger light at one end indicates that the other end is the source... similar to how normal torches work.

As you can see from the image above, the source of the light (the bulb) is much smaller than the end of the light - creating a cone/funnel-like light source.

Looking at a still from the video, you can see that the ground is much thinner than the sky, indicating that the source of the beam is at the ground with the end of the beam being in the clouds.

Why the shape?

What makes this light interesting is, that the beam does not spread evenly as it travels into the skies - but seems to burst out in all directions giving the impression of a "portal".Having spent many nights at trance festivals when I was much younger, this 'phenomenon' is caused by clouds in the sky bouncing the light around making it appear like a portal has appeared and aliens are here to take us away.

Check this image from New York in tribute to 9/11, the same light pattern can be seen.  Notice how the clouds (which are visible) emphasize the light creating a similar effect to that of the video.
