It occurs when lights from fishing boats reflect off ice crystals in the cool night air. As temperatures drop overnight, large ice crystals can form without precipitation. These lights, are used to attract fish. This reflection results in a series of bright lights in the sky, similar to the vertical pillars that can be seen from the shore as well.
