Since this has to do with natural occurrences, this really dont belong in the Aliens and UFO thread...

Mysterious Pillars Of Light Over Finland, page 1
Topic started on 6-12-2012 @ 09:38 AM by DJW001
Beautiful colored pillars of light are being reported all over Finland:
www.iltasanomat.fi...
In some areas, these pillars extend nearly all the way to the ground. No, they are not aurorae, they are caused by a fog composed of ice crystals in the air. The beautiful colors are caused by the street lighting and illuminated signs below. I thought I would post this in this forum to remind people here that natural phenomena can be as incredible and mind blowing as anything you can imagine.

On the contrary. Many of the threads in the UFO forum are actually describing natural phenomena that were not properly understood by the observers. If I had titled this thread "UFO Portals Over Finland," without explaining what they really were, there would have been countless replies to the effect of: "I have seen these my self. They are light-ships from the fifth vibratory level." As I said, people should remember that nature can be as beautiful and mysterious as anything we can imagine!

Well said.
These are light pillars if you didn't know yet. Definitely pretty and interesting regardless.

You can see city lights from space:
(Geo-political quiz: What landmass are we viewing? Answer below.)
Laser shows use fog machines so that the beams are visible. The lasers used are not really very bright.
Sadly, most street lighting is not very well designed. The light spills out in all directions, causing light pollution. We're not supposed to advocate political causes here, but this link is instructive on this matter:

Which is why I originally posted this in the UFO forum.
Answer to Geo-political Quiz: The Korean Peninsula.
Can we honestly believe that the light from a streetlight or neon sign will be enough to stretch all the way up into the atmosphere?

Compare these with the laser shows which pump out far more power AND they are directed energy.

Streetlights shine downwards, and neon signs are not directed upwards either (no-one up there to see the advertising).

I think the explanation that these are caused by streetlighting and neon advertising signs is stretching our belief somehow.

They don't actually stretch high into the atmosphere, it's an optical illusion much like you can't find the end of the rainbow.
Columns of light apparently beaming directly upwards from unshielded (and wastefully polluting) lights are sometimes visible during very cold weather. Plate shaped ice crystals, normally only present in high clouds, float in the air close to the ground and their horizontal facets reflect light back downwards.

Technically it is not "natural phenomena" if it is being caused by streetlights and the like.
And what you posted in your video is nothing like the picture in the OP.
