Amazing 'end of times' lights form among clouds over Costa Rica, bringing crowds to a standstill to watch incredible phenomenon

• Spectacle occurred on Costa Rica's Independence Day in capital San Jose
• It brought crowds to a standstill with some likening it to 'a sign of God'

Crowds were brought to a standstill when they witnessed an astonishing 'end of times' lights form among clouds over Costa Rica. 

The spectacle, in the capital of San Jose, occurred on the country's Independence Day last Tuesday. 

It led some to describe the incredible phenomenon as being 'like a sign of God'. 

The luminous cloud formation was spotted by mystified residents in Costa Rica's capital of San Jose 

 

The strange lights are caused by water droplets and ice crystals refracted by the sun’s light

Resident Joey Petit told ABC News his family were at a playground when his 11-year-old son, Ariel, noticed the odd formations in the clouds. 

His father said: 'He immediately grabbed the camera and started taking video and photos. We were just so amazed. We had no idea what it was and we'd never seen anything like it'.

Another, Jessie Montealegre, added: 'It was breathtaking. It's like a sign of God'. 

Gavin Pretor-Pinney told MailOnline: 'It's a pileus cloud and that happens when you get a large storm cloud building up.

'It grows taller and taller and it can encounter winds building across the top of it and it can push it up and act like an obstacle.

'This can cause ice crystals and water droplets to form and leads to the beautiful and iridescent appearance. It's not a common cloud to see.'  .

Residents who spotted the peculiar cloud formation remarked how it looked like the 'end of times'
