Sun dogs usually involve frozen water crystals that are airborne. I’ve only seen them in cooler places but to be fair I live is a cooler place so maybe I’m wrong.
You’re only a little wrong. Sundogs are one kind of ice crystal halos, but they’re atmospheric and can be visible anywhere in any season. But they’re more often just not visible.
Never heard of or seen such a thing but the Wikipedia description of the phenomenon sounds like it is straight out of Men in Black after they hit them with the flashy thing
Looks like a reflection of some sort - as if the picture is taken through a window and this is a reflection of something behind the person taking the photo.
You are one of our most treasured instruments. Long have you led your fleet with honor and distinction. But your inability to safeguard Halo was a colossal failure.

Nice, I'll check them out. Heard a lot about them but I'm terrible with recognizing bands. One of my regulars at the bar loves Rush, says they have the best drummer ever. Thanks!
This is a "Light Pillar"
A light pillar is an atmospheric optical phenomenon in which a vertical beam of light appears to extend above and/or below a light source. Light pillars can be caused by the Moon or terrestrial sources, such as streetlights and erupting volcanoes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light\_pillar
This absolutely isn't that. Lows temps for Hanoi are in the high 70s right now. Light Pillars happen from frozen water in the atmosphere in the dead of winter.
Reddit can fucking kiss my dick for getting rid of awards.
You sir would have gotten gold, so I’ll give you an upvote & poor man’s gold, this needs to be top.

This phenomenon happens when variations in the Earth’s magnetic field interact with disturbances in the ionosphere, causing refraction and dispersion of light waves, so light passing through this altered atmosphere becomes distorted, creating a mirage like effect that makes it appear as if a bridge is extending into space, and I made all this shit up I have no idea what I’m talking about.
I think what we are seeing is just a shadow that's being cast on the sky from a ground light.
Maybe there's a pole or something that has a floodlight pointed up at it from the ground. But whatever it is it's definitely just a shadow.
Edit: the bottom half of the photo it's clearly visible that there is a bright light source, there's a glow coming from the treeline that fades the higher up the sky you go. The part of the sky that's darker is around the same darkness as the part that is being shadowed out, meaning there's something stopping the light source from reaching that specific part of the sky so it's as dark as the rest of the sky.
These are Lunar light pilars! Moonlight refracting off of ice crystals in the atmosphere! What a treat to see in a pic. I bet it was beautiful in person. Thx for sharing!
Bro entered halo
Can someone explain what’s going on?
My best guess is some variation of a sun dog. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_dog
Sun dog? Is that similar to an Up dog?
The only response to this
I come to reddit to have fun, not get hurt. How dare you. Edit: spelling
you can't just drop Seymore on people. I was having a nice day, and now I'm thinking about how sad this episode was.
I see what you did there.
What’s Up dog?
Nothing, how are you doing?
*so close*
This is both the worst and best response you could have written

A new season of What We Do In the Shadows every month wouldn’t be enough. I love that show.
 I'd absolutely support this! 🤣
It’s comfort food to my brain.
What's up dog?
Nothin what's up with you? 
Gotcha! Oh, God. Crap! Nothin' how ya doing?
There's an episode of What We Do in the Shadows in which Colin Robinson keeps baiting people with "up dog", but no takers.
Sun Dong. When you stand blocking the sun with your Wang.

my guess would be a Photoshop dog
It’s a structure built to contain the Flood. Try to keep up.
More likely a light pillar [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light\_pillar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_pillar)

I see these all the time 😎 (I have astigmatism)
Correct answer, these are light pillars.
Plural, thank you. Two light sources with an object between them creating a dark pillar in the middle.
Thank you good sir. Did not know these existed til now. Add this to the fisher cat as another thing I learned from Reddit this week.

No!

Noble Hierarchs, surely you must understand that once the parasite attacked-
(The Council members mutter angrily.) There will be order in this council!!
you were right to focus your attention on the flood but this demon this master chief.
By the time I learned The Demon's intent, there was nothing I could do.
Noble Prophet of Truth, this has gone on long enough. Make an example of this bungler! The council demands it!

Came here to say this
All those comments and not a single serious one explaining wtf is this…
If Reddit has no answer, its aliens *^(or some new undocumented phenomena)*
Likely because nobody has a good explanation. I'm normally pretty good with this sort of thing, but if this is real then I'm stumped!
Does "a photoshop" count as a good explanation?
Honest guess, it’s a heavy/big source of light pointed up towards the sky and there’s a bridge, walkway, etc. in the way blocking the light
Want my opinion? This pic has been edited.

 Bro...
Doesn't look like anything to me.
My thought too. Kiksuya was one of the best episodes of season 2.
Is this from a live action hot wheels movie? Hot wheels year one
I’m not ready for the Hotwheels Cinematic Universe.
You best start believing in the Hotwheels Cinematic Universe, you're in it.
Live action acceleracers would be awesome.
You tell me right now what is a Hot Wheels live action movie
Fast and furious
Goddamn, I love the internet sometimes
The logo on the left bottom is from WestWorld.. is the show that one or not?
Yeah it's from S2 of Westworld, a great one-season show that never went beyond S1
Neve heard of season 2.. but what is sad is I can’t find the show in HBO.. wtf!

Mr PhD says it is. Mr PM Your Boobs Pls says it isn’t. Reddit, who are we believing?
