EliteEsoteric ::: Favorites The first time I watched it I did not even notice it, It will be a easy to miss halo on the top of the screen. 06-10-15 12:01:18 _____________________________________________________

patricknelson ::: Favorites I just like the feel given by the clouds passing by so quickly overhead in this time-lapse video. 06-10-18 00:34:58 _____________________________________________________

fucktheothercalmo ::: Favorites It's from the camera's lens is it? ok then... Your world is a cold one. Only i didn't notice anyone claiming to see a UFO or ghost. This is a real phenomenon. Not as Spectacular as the Northern Lights, but anything like this is worth seeing. 06-11-03 02:30:23 _____________________________________________________
juanagon ::: Favorites Nahh, its real!! it happened a lot back in my hometown in colombia,6000 ft above sea level 06-11-11 15:47:21 _____________________________________________________
bjoybeads ::: Favorites thank you ! I doubted anyone could catch this on film... the one I saw in Oregon was much closer to the horizon & therefore VERY large...it is faint & easier to see from the shade of a building. I believe it is the illuminated circle of the earth reflected onto the ice crystals... because it is parallel to the ENTIRE horizon ! when the circle is complete & intersects the halo around the sun, the parhelia (sundogs) appear at these two intersection on either side of the sun. 07-03-24 00:03:45 _____________________________________________________
bjoybeads ::: Favorites Ooo, that gives me chills - at the time when we saw it in Eugene OR, many of us called the weatherman at the local TV station & were told "yes, he saw it," then it turned out he only saw the halo ! not the circle... felt sorry for him. The ice crystals were spread over the whole sky, producing irridescent rainbow clouds earlier that day. 07-03-26 02:11:05 _____________________________________________________
