None (cn None) I noticed that the sunset had an unusual look this night and after some research I concluded that these are "reflected crepuscular rays" which are caused after the sun has already dipped below the horizon, and are reflected off a distant body of water onto the underside of the cloud layer. Judging by the location and the shape on the horizon, I can only surmise that this might actually be the western basin of Lake Erie.
