The line in the sky there isn't a camera or lens problem, and it isn't a mirage, and most importantly it isn't aliens. It's an actual event called a "sun pillar", which happens due to light refraction off ice crystals, when the sun is near the horizon. I've never seen one in person.

Nice...nice... are you sure that isn't bouncing off of Superman's Fortress of Solitude?



Cool
