Maybe someone can post some photos of this happening. I know I've always called it "Rings" around the sun or moon.

How can rays of light be “oval?” Little wonder the ‘modern Catholic’ church is struggling if the “Modern Catholic Dictionary” has such nonsense!

An aureole is a halo. It is not “to be distinguished” unless discussing Mediaeval Church art, which made such distinctions for symbolic reasons, much as the Eastern Church does in its icons.
