Yeah for mumbo-jumbo artists it's a hassle having to sort through facts - sorry about that.
Let's repeat what Uncinus said again....
Water droplets make rainbows when they reflect light - that is why rainbows appear in front of you when hte sun us behind you.
Ice crystals make circumhorizontal arcs by refracting light in front of you when the sun is also in front of you.

You would know which they were from reading this thread, or doing just a little research - try looking for "iridescent clouds" on wiki, and following the links.
I often see chemtrailers on here saying that debunkers need to just "do their research" - and yet so many of them have so little idea of actually atmospherics and science as to make me wonder what it is they think research is

Your question had been answered before you asked it by Uncinus - as you would know if you had read the thread - www.abovetopsecret.com...
AFAIK there's nothing wrong with the pictures - where did I say there was?
and you need to be educated about them because you are obviously unaware of some normal atmospheric phenomena.edit on 3-7-2011 by Aloysius the Gaul because: (no reason given)

Saw your post earlier but was too annoyed to reply...so...now...what is it? back-lit or front-lit? OP didn't say or did I miss something? Apparently this seemingly insignificant little fact makes a lot of difference in the mumbo jumbo level.

Formation of the halo requires that the sun be very high in the sky, at an elevation of 58° or more, and that the cirrus cloud or haze contains plate-shaped ice crystals.
