Weird Sky Anomaly or Santa's Workshop Door?

Since Da-da loves sky phenomena and toys flying into his head, here's the latest bizarro event, video'd in the arctic near a toy mining facility this week. Apparently, it happens all the time and the multiple witnesses weren't fazed... which seems stranger than the actual phenomena. The below video has various views.



So... could the portal to Santa's Workshop have been found? COULD SANTA BE...

He's actually supposed to be very a very sweet man.

UPDATE: Could the above light columns be related to the light column anomalies recently seen in Japan?

Whoa.

Da-da wrote about these back on August 24th (linky), and he's since learned that these are apparently supposed to be a very good sign of peace and light to come, unicorns notwithstanding -- which is not to say that Santa is coming to your town, unless you're good, for goodness sake...
