One theorised: “Sun shining through pollution?” While another concurred saying: “Pretty sure it’s a sun reflecting off the building shining through fog.” A local meteorologist Xia Chuandong later confirmed the theory – explaining that the thick clouds in the area largely obscured the structure. As a result, water vapor in the air amplified the light to cause the freakish effect. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
