Colored Light Rods

What is the significance of the colors and how is it this object seems to be made of orbs? Why the different colors? Are they associated with different types of beings or functions?

I saw this light rod falling lower to the ground when my flash went off from the previous shot. It was slowly falling but also looked like it was coming out of someplace far away, almost like it was growing into our dimension. I was able to step up right next to it and take the picture below. I wonder what that reddish color is on the end near the orb.
