Spontaneously I would say Crepuscular Rays
A phenomena you occasionally can observe at sunset or sunrise (often when the sun already has set/ or not risen yet), but due to geography (distant mountains) or (most often) caused by distant towering thunderstorm clouds, these optical phenomenas appear. Often pretty, kind of spectacular and unusual.
(3D) Notice:
mobile phones sometimes have a nasty habit of screwing with the tones in a scenery - especially the cheaper ones, but not solely - because they are making the image too contrasty, and overexpose a scenery with bright rays in the sky (or similar).
The limited dynamic range of a tiny sensor, plus the jpg engine in the phone creating "false"colors and transitions in sunset/sunrise photos (Such as creating darker colored rings around an area that is very bright. Like you see in the last photo @thorbiorn posted from the Vietnamese event). A real DSLR camera often gives much better image quality by showing more gentle transitions, more lifelike and closer to what the naked eye sees, if the photographer handles the image files in post processing properly (which means; not screwing around with the contrast too much)
Photo Tip: Another way to capture the scene, even with a mobile phones, would be to underexpose the scenery preferably with RAW, so that the bright rays are not overexposed. Then in post processing, you lift the shadows (making them brighter), in order to accomplish a more true lifelike image, without the nasty artifacts that otherwise appear in the highlights (like in the 3rd and 4th image below, where the rays are totally overexposed, creating strange artifacts in the photo (also called "blown out highlights"), which usually don't not exist to the naked eye.
Here is an example of Crepuscular Rays
from Queensland Australia, published on 27 Jan 2016 by Higgings Storm Chasing
Thank you for the explanation, and for sharing your knowledge about the sky, camera types and settings. I tried to take a closer look at the situation following your suggestion of Crepuscular Rays.
We learned that:
Below is a screenshot from ViaMichelin.fr
Knowing the place, I wanted to find out about the Sun. The app called LunaSolCal will give data about the Sun and the Moon. I tried to add Quang Ngai, but it was not in the database, then I tried Tam Ky, which is 60 km to the North, measured on a Yandex map. In the Yandex map, I can play with the ruler and learn that Tam Ky is the equivalent of 50 km straight north and 30 straight west of Quang Ngai. In the app, I can move back in time to September 29 and learn that in Tam Ky the Sun set at 17:36 Indochina Time. This means that in Quang Ngai the Sun would be setting close to the time of 17:30 since:
The difficulty with the possibility of the phenomenon being crepuscular rays is:
The Sun sets in the west, but this appeared in the east. If the statement above is true, there is also a phenomenon called anticrepuscular rays:
If anticrepuscular rays is a possibility, then one can look for images that look similar to what allegedly was recorded in Vietnam, at least if it was close to real. On | EarthSky there is one image that resembles: "Jenney Disimon in Sabah, North Borneo, caught these anticrepuscular rays and a rising moon – and posted them to EarthSky Facebook – on June 4, 2015."

Oh thank you for bringing up the anticrepuscular rays, @thorbiorn - it never crossed my mind (due to lack of knowledge about those type of rays).Thank you for the explanation, and for sharing your knowledge about the sky, camera types and settings.

So wow
(the beautiful side of networking)I will now read in more about them, as well looking for more photos (I am curious how to distinguish the opposite types visually) and then see if i have ever seen such anticrepuscular rays myself.
Judging from the last photo you posted, it does in character even more resemble that the Vietnamn phenomena was of anti-crepuscular origin.
Thank you again

This is really difficult to make out- nothing to reference with all black background. Could be anything or nothing. Towards the end I swear I could hear a cat purring very loudly…

Very interesting and unusual to say the least; Seems legit to me, but of course I could we wrong.
A UFO appeared at El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá, Colombia

Famous TV host César Escola was waiting for his flight, playing with his new phone, shooting video and taking pictures of planes landing, and he captured this UFO.
The TV host insists that this is no joke, and he has provided the original video, which he shot on November 26, 2021, for authorities to study.
