    I've seen this before a few times with my husband. We were out by the lake one day, and I put on his sunglasses, and there it was. As the clouds would move, the colors would move down and down the cloud. It was very beautiful. I love dancing clouds. ^^

    I've been lucky enough to see two of these of good quality and another type of arc in my lifetime. This is beautiful footage.

    I saw one once similar to this on a clear (not chemtrailed) winter day. I thought it might have something to do with ice crystals. I'd wondered what it's called.
    Thanks for posting. It's beautiful.

    I saw one of these hovering over Joplin, Missouri. I went back home to tour the tornado damage and there was this rainbow cloud I couldn't pull myself away from. We drove for blocks and even changed direction so my mother could see it. It hovered for a long time.

    Yes, this usually means that this cloud has more water than usual and sometimes will have an effect on how much of the cloud is rainbow. Also, an effect that comes mostly after these clouds is an earthquake.

  • @potterpuppetpalsongs
    @potterpuppetpalsongs 12 лет назад

    I actually saw one of these things on a hike when i was three. I thought it was where the rainbow ended but its nice to know I wasnt going crazy.

    Hi Luna, I have seen these as what is called "sun dogs" during the winter usually seen away from two sides of the sun, or even as a halo around the sun. Also they can be seen solo any time of the year as long as the clouds are at a higher altitude. They are basically ice crystals in the air that are refracting light. I've seen these in North Dakota, Wisconsin, and even in Nevada, but in northern areas they are the most common.

  • @19janet42
    @19janet42 11 лет назад

    I have frequently seen "sundogs" or perihelions which form about 10 degrees above the horizon. These occur when the suns rays are shining through a patch of ice crystals or really cold air which creates a prism effect, splitting the ice into colors, looks like a short rainbow but has no arc/bow. I've seen these in Nevada, California & Oregon -- all in mountain areas.

    @gisenberg I live off the coast of Maine. I run a passenger ferry so I am able to see lots of pretty cool things having to do with the weather. I happen to be sitting in my kitchen when I saw this. It really caused me to say "What the heck is that?!!" when I saw it. Thanks for commenting....I appreciate it! I have not seen anything quite like it since. I am always looking though!

  • @pkwentworth

    I think that the cloud must be very light and the size of clouds molecules is negligible in comparison to the the size of the sunlight's wavelength, so according to Rayleigh the seven colours of sunlight are scattered by the cloud

  • @pkwentworth
    @pkwentworth  12 лет назад

    @GalaxyWalker02 I think it is about even so far, although I haven't tallied the results...between Sun refracting through high altitude cirrus clouds and Chemtrails...I think it is neck and neck. Thanks for commenting!

    @MrDJSlimT I felt lucky to catch a plane flying nearby. Since he was above the clowd I don't think he would have been able to see it since he was not at the correct angle with the Sun. Thanks for commenting!

    I see them a lot most days it is after I have cried. My father passed in 2010, and from then to now I see them after crying about something or getting up set. I do not know if it is a connection but I believe it is my fathers way of telling me everything is going to be ok.

    I saw a cloud rainbow like that when I was a kid. I saw it in U.P. Philippines. While my family and me were flying a kite, I saw a rainbow like a cloud. I called my family and pointed to the cloud rainbow. They were surprised, too.

  • @pkwentworth
    @pkwentworth  13 лет назад

    @simsarethebest925456 There are lots of theories of "How", but my vote is the optical result of light refracting through the high altitude ice crystals. Thanks for commenting.

    • @henrixs

      Man, I think that the person on the plane can't see because this visual effect is more of an illusion, even optical illusion that is only visible from below, not from above.
