A mysterious beam of light was spotted in the skies over the UK, notably observed in Robin Hoods Bay at 5:30 am, with sightings also reported in Wales and Scotland. The North Yorkshire Weather Updates Facebook page sparked curiosity, leading to various humorous theories, including aliens and fictional characters. Meteorologist Jim NR Dale explained that the phenomenon was likely a light pillar caused by ice crystals reflecting light from a ground source, rather than any supernatural occurrence. A similar event occurred recently in London, attributed to a laser advertising stunt.
