Footage from Taiwan's CTV.

Reportedly seen from Peng-hu Islands.

Explained as an instance of sundog.

Some fear that this is a bad omen heralding "the end of the world."

[El Cid]

When did communists rule taiwan anyway?

I don't know about Taiwan, but they've been ruling in the United States for quite awhile.
Hopefully we can fix that.

Let’s all have our fingers crossed, haha.

Rush - Chain Lightning

Words by Neil Peart, Music by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson

energy is contagious
enthusiasm spreads
tides respond to lunar gravitation
everything turns in synchronous relation

laughter is infectious
excitement goes to my head
winds are stirred by planets in rotation
sparks ignite and spread new information

respond, vibrate, feed back, resonate

sun dogs fire on the horizon
meteor rain stars across the night
this moment may be brief
but it can be so bright

hope is epidemic
optimism spreads
bitterness breeds irritation
ignorance breeds imitation

sun dogs fire on the horizon
meteor rain stars across the night
this moment may be brief
but it can be so bright
reflected in another source of light
when the moment dies
the spark still flies
reflected in another pair of eyes

dreams are sometimes catching
desire goes to my head
love responds to your invitation
love responds to imagination

respond, vibrate, feed back, resonate

The prelude to the Battle of Mortimer's Cross in Herefordshire, England in 1461 is supposed to have involved the appearance of a complete parhelion with three "suns". The Yorkist commander, later Edward IV, convinced his initially frightened troops that it represented the Holy Trinity and Edward's troops won a decisive victory.

Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by these three sons of York

Most people dont realize it but the sun and the moon are the same size (when viewed from earth). On many occasions during a lunar cycle, the moon is actually in the sky during the day. You normaly cant see the moon during the day unless the light gets refelcted just at the right time of the day or at the correct angle.

About the size of a pea held at arm's length.

They’re uneven.

I have SEEN the photos of the red winged star Niburu...
Isn’t that what NASA is using the telescope at the South Pole?

“What does this MEAN?”

[dljordan]

“Look on the bright side, at least that would end liberalism.”

Nah, those idiots would be out there chanting, “Hey, hey, ho, ho, double suns have got to go”!.

I see what ya did there, lol

[dangus]

Not a sundog. Sundogs appear 22 degrees away. More likely, simply a cloud. I once saw a cloud make it look like there were seven suns.

If you’re referring to post 9, that was the shot of G1 and G2 from Tatooine in the original “Star Wars.”
