Cross in Bosnian sky, August 2014. Plasma/Icy atmosphere lensing phenomena?

Saw this on Facebook with the caption alluding to some kind a religious miracle. Putting that interpretation aside, I thought It's quite an interesting and strange clip.

As far as I can tell it doesn't seem like CGI.. Any thoughts?

I think so too. Sundogs or other lensing of light in the atmosphere is usually curved in some way; this thing is "straight" and symmetrical.

So as per plasma phenomena, it is strikingly similar to the images shown in Wallace Thornhill and David Talbott's book "Thunderbolts of The Gods" (images attached)

As far as I remember Talbot&Thornhill say in their book that even though based on simple principles, there is an almost endless variety of possible shapes that plasma discharges can have. This one doesn't even seem much different from the ubiquitous "Squatter man" from rock art around the world.

It's an interesting parallel that the poster of the video immediately saw it as a spiritual manifestation, just the way it was seen thousands of years ago!

Judging from recent similar events, my uneducated guess would be the same!
