The video got around 5,000 views in just a week after it being uploaded on a video sharing site. It is clearly shown in the video how a cloud erratically behaving, shifting at unusual speed and appearing to be stuck by a shaft of light.
Various theories have been developed by different online citizens, ranging from somewhat ridiculous to scientific. Many theories involve unidentified flying objects and High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program of the U.S. military or shortly called as HAARP.
However, the closest scientific explanation about the phenomenon is that it caused by the refraction of light through ice crystals in the cloud. This phenomenon is more commonly called as a sun dog where crystals act as prisms and the light that passes through these crystals is bent, usually developing a parhelion.
I like how he changes the view so we know it's not a reflection off the windshield. Whatever that was, it was strange. Thanks for the video.<br />SE
he is not in a car, he is outside.
How very odd! I watch the sky often, night and day and have done for many years. One of my hobbies is photographing clouds and I have never seen anything like this. Fascinating! Thanks for the vid.
WHY IN BLAZES WAS THIS SO SHORT??? something like this meteorological phenomenon or earthly ufo visit should have existed for as long as it was happening! it is beyond me and probably everyone here why you chose to make this so very damn short. i'm disappointed, i was thoroughly enjoying it!
Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.<br />
Could have been HARPP Discharge.First time in 66 years that ive seen it.Rodiomen USNAVY.1966-1970 There was no HARPP Alaska or Gulf of Mexico?
not sure what is causing the wavy lights, maybe a bubble in the window the camera guy is filming through (why not film outside directly?). i notice that the surrounding clouds are not affected. i would figure the configuration of the clouds would shift due to the movements of the phenomenon. but nothing. that's why i question this video.
Wow it was strange.
Pseudomonas syringae trying to communicate, or just mating ritual?
i go to APOD, (astronomy picture of the day) and you got this video from here. they are called jumping sundogs and are weather phenomenons, not ufos.
