A new kind of cloud? (BBC!)

The bright lights of Tucson, Arizona, are more than matched by a flash of lightning far above the city skyline. The sunset scene shows a classic cumulonimbus cloud formation.
The summit of Washington's Mount Rainier lies hidden beneath a stack of horizontally layered lenticular clouds. These clouds are formed by high winds blowing over rough terrain and are sometimes described as a "stack of pancakes."

This wonderful phenomenon is known as a sun dog
Mysterious Sky Shows
February 18, 2009--Remarkably tall artificial light pillars are seen in Ontario, Canada, in January 2004 in this composite panoramic photo.
February 18, 2009--Oddly extraterrestrial-looking, "broken" light pillars glow over Ath, Belgium, on November 20, 2006.
February 18, 2009--A light pillar rises over the setting sun at Lake Tahoe, California, in February 2000.
Though light pillars are often caused by artificial light, sun pillars, as in the above picture, occur when sunlight reflects off the facets of millions of flat ice crystals in very cold air.
February 18, 2009--Light pillars scrape the night sky over Victor, Idaho, on January 26. Typically seen in polar regions, the vertical columns of light have been appearing along with frigid temperatures at lower latitudes this winter.
The Bible states during the end times look to the heavens for sign's, the last few years we have seen a new phenomenon in our sky, below are a few examples!
National Geographic, Fire Rainbow
There is a lot of disinformation about these "Fire Rainbows" on the net. They started showing up about 10 years ago and are NOT rare. I have seen three so far this year.
They can appear at many sun angles and are NOT just seen around a solstice. Note also that the moon now has a COLOR rainbow effect around it at times too. Also that the sun has at times a full circle around it in color too. They are NOT in any of the old textbooks about the atmosphere over ten years ago either.
How the sky looked 30 minutes before the recent Chinese quake!
Bizarre colorful (luminous/glowing) cloud phenomenon in the sky was observed about 30 mins before the May 12, 2008 Sichuan earthquake took place. This was recorded in Tianshui, Gansu province ~450km northeast of epicenter, by someone using a cell phone.

These clouds seemed to be glowing or somewhat luminous and seemed to resemble some characteristics of the Auroras. I am not sure exactly what they were or whether they indeed had anything to do with the quake. I am no expert anyways. See if any scientists are willing to give a full explanation.
If such phenomenon can be proved for its connection with earthquake occurrences, maybe they could be used as warning signs and would be life saving. If not, just learn these clouds as yet another rare atmospheric phenomenon and no need to panic when seeing them.
After all, this might well be just a rare atmospheric phenomenon occurred by coincidence. Though, just wondering if there's any possibility the formation of such rare clouds be catalyzed by any event??
I guess some of you might find the following articles interesting.

This is wonderfull!
These two photos were sent to me back in July of 2003 and was the first image I had seen of these remarkable rainbow effects in the clouds. It was taken by a friend of a friend and given to me to use in the investigation that Gale and I were doing on the "signs in the heavens" research.
These effects in our atmosphere are relatively new, only having shown up in the past few years.
You will not find them in the older books on atmospheric phenomena. We all know that it is a
water mist, or spray, rain, or ice crystals that can cause such beautiful sights. Gale and I suspect
that there is a whole lot more water / ice crystals now in our atmosphere than in the past. Why?
Yes, "signs in the heavens" is pretty much everything over one's head. (No pun intended) Night or day many have seen strange inexplicable things. UFOs would, of course, be one of those signs I propose. Even our aircraft could be classed in that category, same could be said for our space program.
no matter how or what makes them they always get an "Oh wow look at that" out of me. so many things that most people don't even notice I seem to find amazing..
I was out of town and while I was heading off to do errands the sky suddenly went form bright sunny sky to a strange dark ribbon of clouds moving fast across the sky. O_o Weird and scary, right? «I was out of town and while I was heading off to do errands the sky suddenly went form bright sunny sky to a strange dark ribbon of clouds moving fast across the sky.

Do some research on these lenticular clouds, , , , ,
This picture taken this afternoon from the pilot house window.
Yet they still don't want you to know that these are very new to mankind. They were never around in our youth unless you are only ten years old now.
Tucson Infralateral Arc and Circumscribed Halo
Parhelic Circle over the Dead Sea imaged by Koby Harati ( Photography site) on March 7, 2007. The camera is pointing straight upwards. The white parhelic circle passes through the sun and circles around sky, everywhere at the same altitude. The coloured halos at top right are fragments of a 22 degree halo, circumscribed arc and, on the parhelic circle, two sundogs. Had the sun been any higher the sundogs would not have formed.

Double Sun Dog Dazzles Icy Omaha
January 15, 2009—Like glowing parentheses, two sun dogs gave cold-bitten Omaha, Nebraska, residents a reason to go outside Wednesday.
Typically seen to the left and right of a low-lying sun, sun dogs, or parhelia, can take a number of forms—from slightly brighter segments of a solar halo (as shown) to rainbow-hued horizontal streaks to blinding spots nearly indistinguishable from the sun itself.
The sharpness, movement, and orientation of hexagonal, cloudborne ice crystals determine a sun dog's shape, sharpness, and color. Mottled, wobbling, or tall crystals, for example, generally result in more diffuse or colorful displays.
Despite Nebraska's subzero temperatures yesterday, sun dogs don't require cold ground temperatures. The atmospheric phenomena can be seen globally in any season—and even on other worlds. Eight-sided ammonia crystals above Jupiter and Saturn, for example, may spawn quadruple sun dogs, according to physicist Les Cowley on the
Circumzenithal arc, Atacama Desert, Chile. Imaged at the European Southern Observatory by Sylvain Rondi (site) on the morning of 21st March '02 when the sun was 22° high, the ideal altitude for CZAs. Image©2002 Sylvain Rondi, shown with permission.
A Lenticular Cloud Over New Zealand

Lenticular Clouds Above Washington
Credit & Copyright: Tim Thompson
Explanation: Are those UFOs near that mountain? No -- they are multilayered lenticular clouds. Moist air forced to flow upward around mountain tops can create lenticular clouds. Water droplets condense from moist air cooled below the dew point, and clouds are opaque groups of water droplets. Waves in the air that would normally be seen horizontally can then be seen vertically, by the different levels where clouds form. On some days the city of Seattle, Washington, USA, is treated to an usual sky show when lenticular clouds form near Mt. Rainier, a large mountain that looms just under 100 kilometers southeast of the city. This image of a spectacular cluster of lenticular clouds was taken last December
Those colorful clouds of different kinds are beautiful but not strange or mystic at all. We have the each spring in the north of Sweden and its nothing new. But that does not make then less beautiful. Same goes for the light-pillars but they are most seen when its cold.
ReplyDeleteCheers :)
Cheers rstralberg!

ReplyDeleteThe rainbow fragments and higher concentrations of ice crystals in our atmosphere is a new phenomena within the last decade. Not recorded in previous history.
Hi Gale, nice of you to visit.
ReplyDeleteGreat Article Gaz.

OBVIOUSLY..
ReplyDeletehalf of the pictures are HDR effects.
ReplyDeleteFake weather.
ReplyDeleteDo a search of "air force 2025". The first couple government sites have been shut down (shocking right?) but down a bit more you see Federation of American Scientists website and it's on there in full. www.fas.org/spp/military/docops/usaf/2025/index.html
Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteA lot of this looks like the effects of HAARP on the weather.
ReplyDeleteNeat. When I first posted pix of a fire rainbow on my blag, the next day people were using it as their avatar - how impressive. Wish more folks had astra in their eyes. Namaste.
ReplyDeleteAstra in their eyes?....Now that sounds nice Cathy!
ReplyDeleteThese phenomenons ARE NO MIRACLE
