Scientists left baffled as mysterious columns of coloured light appear in the night skies

These stunning images show mysterious columns of light streaming into the sky above the town of Sigulda in Latvia at the end of last month. Taken by designer Aigar Truhins with a standard digital camera, the photographs have prompted excited online discussions among amateur astronomists all over the internet. ‘My son exclaimed, ‘The aliens are coming!” Truhins was quoted as saying.
