Don't try to draw any conclusions as to why it happened to me then;). I don't want to hear the words 'directly proportional to' at all in response to that 'phenomena'.;)
Perhaps a strong reflection off a large body of water?whitelighter said:standing on a road about 20 years ago on and island of the coast of Tasmania Australia, looking in one direction a half circle rainbow could be seen and then turning and facing the opposite direction another half circle rainbow could be seen.
Two rainbows seen from opposite directions...my wife witnessed this too.
also not so unusual...on a beach the sun was big and setting in the West and at the same time a big full moon was rising.

The optical effect is know as looming and is closely related to a road mirage, the difference being a temperature gradient in the atmosphere, rather then at the road surface.Searush said:This page is probably done being looked at, but I just heard a story from my Grandma about a day in the 50's or so when she was hanging up laundry and in the clouds saw a ship - a queen elisabeth - and could even hear music playing and see them dancing. She was near a lake in Michigan at the time and later found out it was an occurrence of a reflection involving a ship at sea, on the ocean, and crystals in the cloud. But what about the audio? Could this be possible? What is this phenomenon called?
