I don't know about the whole chemtrail/contrail debate but those are some nice pictures...very pretty in fact.

I can almost make out some Roman Numerals in some of them...possibly an indication of my over active imagination.

Either way...nice pictures!

Nice I like how the rainbow starts red and gets more pronounced. Very interesting pics.

Very illustrative pictures of the metallic rainbows brought to us by chemtrails in the name of weather modification. Can this stuff be good to breathe? Or does it stay stratospheric far from our lungs? I like the rainbows of yore - without the metallic highlights.

Not yet managed one myself. But always hoping!

With all due respect, all this suggests is that there is moisture inside them... Which there is.... an ordinary contrail is made up of condensed water vapor, so if the light hits it just right, there is no reason a rainbow could not form.

It's simple science.

And for the record, I am not a believer or a skeptic. Well, I guess I lean a bit towards the skeptic side, but when trying to figure out what something is, it is best to take a skeptics approach anyway. This allows you to search for any logical explanations and prevents you from jumping to conclusions.

And if at the end of the day, you can't find a logical explanation, then you know you might have something.

A very important part of the Scientific process....Again, with all due respect, this is something I see used very minimally. Which is a shame. We would have so many more answers than we do now, if we used it.

That is my humble thought, anyway.

Peace and love.

Metallic rainbows?

My friend.... Water is not metallic, yet it creates rainbows because it bends the light, allowing you to see, all the colors that are in light....

Contrails are made of WATER vapor..... So, if you think this is anything out of the ordinary, you are wrong.

That said, very cool pictures, to say the least. Of all things they make me think of the northern lights.

Aye, before people get too excited, always remember the rainbow woman

Not saying what you captured is connected but it reminded me of the sky captured on video before the 2008 Sichuan earthquake in China.

I believe this has also occurred before other reported earthquakes.


What area did you take your pictures?

Very nice images, here's the details from Essan's link:

And technical explanation of its formation:

The arc is usually* produced by plate oriented crystals. Sunlight enters a near vertical side face and leaves via the lower near horizontal face. The refraction of the almost parallel solar rays through faces inclined at 90° produces the pure, bright and well separated prismatic colours. The colours are purer than those of the rainbow.

When the sun is ~58° high the outgoing ray grazes the crystal lower face (see left) . When the sun is lower still the ray is internally reflected by the lower face and no CHA is formed.

The CHA is closely related to the equally pure coloured circumzenithal arc. The latter is formed when sunlight enters the crystal top face and leaves a side face.

And how often they form (not at all in some places)

www.atoptics.co.uk...

How often you see the arc depends on where you are. In the USA you might see a circumhorizon arc (CHA) five or more times each summer. In middle latitude Europe you will be lucky to see a CHA once. In northern Europe they are impossible to see at any latitude north of Copenhagen.

i took them in southcentral PA. i have about 40 more pics of misc trails from 2011 (all were taken by me). i guess i'll post those a little later.

Technically it's not a rainbow, as it's made from ice crystals, and the sun is in front of the viewer, and not behind.

It starts red and gets more pronounced as the contrail is not lined up with the arc. So first it's just showing the red part, and then more of the other colors.

The arc is always there (when the sun is in the right position), just you can't see it unless there's the right kind of ice crystals in the right position. The contrail reveals the arc, like a ColorBlast pen reveals its colors:

i just found it interesting to see the effect in a trail and not in clouds...and just ONE trail only. there were other trails in the same vicinity but no rainbow. then a jet came and pulled a sharp "C" turn right where the rainbow trail was...that's the trail in my last 3 pics in the original post. very shady stuff goin' on. once i noticed trails in the sky for the first time this year, i've been trying to figure it out. i know we're all paying for this sky-doodling. we've all heard the different theories. the most astonishing thing is, all of the people i explain the trails to (whether it be on social networking sites or in person), they either don't believe me, don't wanna believe me, or let it go in one side of their head and out the other and, of course, call me crazy. there is definitely something wrong here. the only thing that keeps coming to my mind is massive brainwashing through all types of media, or maybe from the stuff being put in the atmosphere...it's been said many times: stop looking down at your phones and pads, take a look in the sky...in the daylight & night time...i'm a Nibiru/Elenin/Tyche/Hercolubus nut also, so, you know what i'm thinking what all this might be about...

Thank you but Im pretty sure what you just defined is a rainbow(water droplets bending the suns light).. As for your debunkingness.. isn't that the same cloud in the first few pics and the picture is takin at pretty much the same point..?

double post

Aluminum nano schrapnel in a dance with ice crystals. How quaint.

Now come on, metal does not make rainbows. You saying the exact same thing as the woman in the Crazy Rainbow Lady video.

In order to have a prismatic effect, it has to be able to refract light. What metal does that?

Here lol wow epic.

Well, if you consider an ice crystal the same as a drop of water, then sure.

But they are really very different. Rain drops form a rainbow by reflecting the sunlight (the spread of colors is still from refraction though), so the sun is behind you. Ice crystals form halos and arcs solely by refraction.

There's three main types of "rainbow" colored things in the sky:

www.atoptics.co.uk...

Rainbows are formed by refraction and reflection of sunlight by raindrops. When sunlight passes through ice crystals, halos form and they are mostly coloured . Small cloud or fog droplets diffract light to form ringed glories, coronae and the jumbled colours of iridescent clouds.

1. Raindrops - Refract reflected light, making rainbows
2. Ice crystals - Refract light passing through, making halos and arcs
3. Tiny droplets - Diffract light passing around them, making iridescence.

All of these come from the optical properties of water. It's possible you could get similar effects by spraying something chemically similar to water. But that's hardly what the chemtrailers claim.

The term "iridescence" here is a bit incorrect - it describes what it looks like, rather than what it is. The iridescence look IS actually something you' associate with chemicals or metals - like the colors in a soap bubble, and oil sheen, or certain types of decorative finishes on metal. But TRUE iridescence is a reflective property of a surface due to thin-film interference. See:

en.wikipedia.org...

The irregular "rainbow" iridescence of clouds is not at all related to this, and simply looks similar. It's caused by water droplets of varying sizes causing interference. An entirely different optical process.
