Has anyone else realized there is a new weather condition in Azys Lla?

The weather spawned at roughly 4pm ET (ingame time), and free company member's said there was a guy on the main ship of Azys Lla shooting Lazers.

The weather lasted for roughly 5 real life minutes (1.5 hours ingame time). (x22, y25).

Will try and get a screenshots from those that actually saw it.

any clue what this is? apparently the 'figure' was a cross between ultima and behemoth.
