What are these things?

Ignorant friends on my facebook feed are driving me nuts conspiring about whether this is aliens or the sign of the end times. The pursuit of a true scientific or naturalistic explanation for what these things are never enters the discussion. So can someone please tell me what these things are. or are likely to be so I can throw a monkey wrench in these people's hoax machine? If you've got links to credible sites explaining what they are, even better!

 

Thanks!

They're probably Crepuscular rays.

Yes he does, or so I'm told.

I'm reading now that they're probably camera glitches. https://www.metabunk.org/why-people-are-suddenly-seeing-strange-beams-of-light-around-the-world-the-reddit-effect.t6722/

That's why I said, probably.

Those that feature a lightening bolt is almost certainly a camera glitch, the rest is debatable.

Occam's Razor..... either its aliens from out space, its the millennium, or its a camera glitch. Those are the explanations on offer at the moment.

Other than the explanation I've offered.

It's not those. They all look the same, sooper dooper symmetrical white beams, consistent with a known camera glitch.
