Strange Colorful Cloud Forms Over Metroplex (Dallas-FTWorth
Posted on 07/21/2005 12:38:04 PM PDT by PaulaB
-- A weird-looking cloud sporting the colors of the rainbow appeared to many in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex early Thursday afternoon.The cloud stayed in the southeastern sky for several minutes, but was obscured by other clouds at times.
NBC 5 Meteorolgist James Aydelott offered one possible explanation, saying that the sun was hitting the cloud at just the right angle, similar to a phenomenon known as "sun dogs," causing the colorful display. He also said he had never seen a cloud like this before.

It was a message, perhaps from one-time Hurricane Emily.

Prolly so. I have several pix I took of prismatic clouds. Not regular rainbow pix. I look up more than most and photograph some strange formations. Also stuff like this apparent near miss:

Actually I heard on KTSA radio that there has been some cloud seeding going on in the past few weeks. It said they use some type of flare to disperse the particles. Maybe related?
To: Eastbound
Probably not a near miss. Most likely the aircraft were at different altitudes, easily 10,000 feet or more between them.

Someone once explained this phenomena to me, atmospheric crystals or some such thing,That would fall in line with my previous post about cloud seeding. They mentioned something about the particles creating ice crystals in the cold part of the cloud, which then fall into the warm part of the cloud, causing rain.

This appears to be a phenonomon called a SUNDOG. It is essentially a clear sky circular rainbow, usually forming in atmospheric ice. It is called a Sundog, because it circles the sun. Last time I saw one in person was when I was at Yellowstone a few years back.
