A skier discovered a 'magical portal' of light when they encountered an atmospheric phenomenon during a snowstorm in Austria.
The seemingly alien event was noticed on a slope in the Skiwelt -Resort in Austria.
In the video, the oval -shaped light beam is shimmering in the snowy landscape while skiers pass by, apparently unconsciously of the bizarre natural phenomenon directly next to it.
The strange discovery was filmed by Tiktok user Lanci and the clip has since become viral on the site who have speculated millions of views and thousands of reactions from surprised people who have speculated about what it could be.
Some users claimed it was a miracle and others claimed it looked like a portal.
Fortunately there is an easy explanation for the video.
It is known as a subsun, a very rare, but beautiful, optical display that happens when sunlight touches ice crystals in the atmosphere in exactly the right angle to make the subsun.
The large amount of snow visibly present on the ski slope in combination with the dark shadow -like background behind the light beam makes these subsuns more visible than normal.
