This reminds me that me and afew saw the most bizarre thing going on with a sunrise last summer on our way out to the mountains. It was like a beam of shadow was thrown out from the sun whilst all around it the sky was getting lighter.

Maybe the same phenomenon viewed from higher up? (E.g. the light was reflected down by the ice crystals, and a light pillar would have been visible a few hundred metres below you?)

Not sure how high it is where afew lives but we were only just leaving for the mountains at that point, so we were still low down. It was really freaky and afew said he'd never seen it before.
