What was that mysterious vertical red light in the Houston sky?

Was the opening of the new strip club.
The hippo one owned by the Chinese boy.

A light pillar of sun reflecting off the ice crystals of the high cirrus. These are common and sometimes occur at sunrise/sundown. There has been an awful lot of high levelmoisture in Houston as late. Note the tine this was seen, 830 (near sunset) and it was gone 45 min later (sundown).

it's called a sundog

Spare us the condescending responses. I am simply bringing to your attention a news story from Houston, exactly as it was reported.


HOUSTON — Did you see the weird red light in the Houston sky on Wednesday night?

You're not alone. KHOU 11 News was inundated with videos and photos from viewers asking what it was.

The answer? We don't know.

What we do know is we started getting reports of the light at about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday. As of 9:15 p.m., the light appeared to be gone.

Watch out for McDonald's to suddenly be macdonalds.

That makes sense. Probably a Butadiene flare.

I stood next to one (about 100 yards away) when I was younger. For whatever reason, it was a ground level flare. (mmost are about 200 to 300 feet high for obvious reasons. so you don't cook people).

Basically it was like the Sun had landed and also it was angry. The reverberation pulsations of the flame were hitting my chest like a bass drum. The one I expereinced was on Old Tidal Road.

They have many flares all over the ship channel but a butadiene flare really burns super bright from the double bond energy I guess.

I used to see them near Pittsburgh as a kid in the evening when J&L steel would dump slag or whatever along the banks of the Ohio River.

Take note of my balls

My friends in LA saw something similar in September and set me a video... here's a screenshot from the video:
