KING 5 viewers have been sending in photos of some colorful clouds that formed yesterday afternoon over Port Townsend. An article in the Port Townsend Leader called the phenomenon on a "freak circumhorizontal arc" caused by light passing through high-altitude cirrus clouds. It apparently happened around noon, drawing hundreds of people outside to stare at the sky. One person compared the event to a scene out of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."

We also saw these clouds around 1:30pm in the Burlington area. I was wishing I had my camera with me.
Sometimes after a rocket has been fired the gases left in the trail will reflect the sun in a beautiful vertical rainbow . I saw this west of the San Fernando valley in southern California.
