This is one of the most incredible videos I have ever seen! I felt as if the man behind the camera was speaking for me, repeatedly pointing out how shocked he was by what he was witnessing. What in the world is it? It looks like a creature made of light hopping around in the clouds!
My first reaction was disbelief. I thought there must be some kind of trick, but the consistency of the light and its constantly changing movements convinced me of its authenticity. My second thought was, “I hope it’s a UFO!”
There is some speculation that what we are witnessing is a rare phenomenon called “crown flashing”. It happens when the ice crystals in the clouds align with the constantly shifting magnetic fields, caused by the electrical activity of a storm. The shifting crystals cause the light to refract and move. Nature is so mysterious and amazing! No matter how much we learn, she always has another secret.
What do you think it is? Let us know in the comments below

Great example of a sun dog!
From Wikipedia: “Sun dogs are a member of a large family of halos, created by light interacting with ice crystals in the atmosphere. Sun dogs typically appear as two subtly colored patches of light to the left and right of the Sun, approximately 22° distant and at the same elevation above the horizon as the Sun. They can be seen anywhere in the world during any season, but they are not always obvious or bright. Sun dogs are best seen and are most conspicuous when the Sun is close to the horizon.”
I’ve never seen a sundog that moved around like a beam of light like that. I have never seen anything quite like that.
cool. i don’t think it’s a sun dog at all, i’ve seen plenty of them. never seen anything like this.
