At 1:30 in the morning,Busty Lifeguards (2010) while most of Ontario, Canada was asleep, Timothy Joseph Elzinga was tending to his crying toddler. Then he looked out the bathroom window.
"I saw beams of light, looking like something out of Star Trek or Close Encounters of the Third Kind," Elzinga told Mashable on Thursday, nearly a week after he witnessed the so-called light pillars.

"I ran out in my pajamas, and quickly realized that I needed to bundle up," he recalled.
Elzinga, who is a semi-professional photographer, captured the light pillars with his Samsung Galaxy 6S smartphone and promptly posted a video to his YouTube channel.
The light beams appeared for another 45 minutes after he first spotted them, Elzinga said.
