What you are seeing here is called Tribute in Light as seen from our neighborhood last night--rising above the tree in the middle-ground. Two gigantic beams of light where the two towers once stood. These massive lights have been switched on every September 11th (since 2003) to mark the anniversary. We live 11 miles away, but these beams have been reported from much farther away than that. Today is a pretty solemn day for New Yorkers (especially those who were living here when it happened...but the gravity of this occasion is not lost on those of us who were living elsewhere, such as Jen and myself). I look forward to seeing the new memorial someday soon.
