Solar refraction through a lenticular cloud. They have a bright choose-a-color-from-the-rainbow color, sometimes uniformly throughout the entire cloud. I’ve seen it, but, it’s rare. That’s my guess. Cloud sizes can be huge, and it can be too bright to look at without sunglasses.

That’s what the gov’t wants you to believe.

Those of us who know the truth know that Bush is summoning UFOs in order to put a false flag on Belgium.

"Solar refraction through a lenticular cloud."

On a smaller scale, is that also called a "sun dog"?

Wow! Google up images of "lenticular cloud" and you'll see most of the "UFO" pictures taken over the years. My favorite:

I’ve seen it, but, it’s rare.

Could be, but surely an airline captain with more than a half hour's airtime has seen a lenticular cloud before. We glider pilots wait in constant drool for "lennies". They mean atmospheric wave and that means high altitude fun!

FWIW, they're not all that rare in my area at certain times of the year, mostly winter and spring. In fact, they're common in March and April in SE Tennessee....

Sounds good to me.

GROPE, GROPE . . . .

any fool hardy rationalization

anything but accepting the simple facts of trained observers’ reports.

Must be that insecurity thing.
