This happened in Philippines ... It is genuinely bizarre. What is it??

That’s a phenomenon called a Crown Flash. They’re caused by high altitude ice crystals being aligned by the electric fields building up and then discharging. They are fairly rare to see from the ground since you need to be at a specific angle.

Crown flash is a rarely observed meteorological phenomenon caused by the effect of atmospheric electrical fluctuations on the alignment of ice crystals. The current hypothesis for why the phenomenon occurs is that sunlight is reflecting off, or refracting through, tiny ice crystals above the crown of a cumulonimbus cloud. These ice crystals are aligned by the strong electric field effects around the cloud, so the effect may appear as a tall (sometimes curved) streamer, or pillar of light, or resemble a massive flash of a searchlight/flashlight beam.

I’m not saying it’s aliens but it’s definitely aliens.

The replies told me this is called crown flash. I learned something today.👨‍🎓
