Believe being the operative word there. To the untrained eye, misidentification of halos is common, and its not unusual for the sky to have more than one different type of phenomena. As he was travelling, the halo's he saw would have indeed changed, as the perspective of one's position relative to the sun, and the postion relative to the ice crystal would be different.

I suppose you want to believe so bad, you will just attribute this to HAARP or some other conspiracy.....the former being likely, as you dont seem to understand much about any optical meteorological phenomena

But what would I know I only do this for a living

Take a look at this:

www.atoptics.co.uk...

Is this what it looked like?

That is a very cool website. Didn't realize there were so many variations of rainbows.

Pretty darn close actually, but not exactly and there were additional halos in the northwest and northeast.

Thanks for the photo's and taking the time to post them. I get to see lots of sundogs and other interesting stuff in the sky up here and I always enjoy seeing this stuff. Even saw God Rays coming from the wrong side of the sky at sunrise about 9 years ago.

Oz, thanks for the explanation and link to that site.

well, if you're going to be patronising and use your self proclaimed expertise as a sort of a veto on opinion and discussion, expect people to react badly. the fact that you're a meteorologist (or the channel6 bimbo) doesn't mean much if none of the weather conditions you are aware of actually fit the bill here.

the truth is, you haven't actually given any reasonable suggestion as to what was actually observed. what you have done, repeatedly, is suggest that the OP must be wrong because their account doesn't match up to what you assume they observed.

ah, forget it, i can't be bothered with your close minded crap.
