Did you see it? An extremely rare occurrence was spotted over Utah today, with people wondering what they were seeing.
FOX 13 News viewers sent in a bunch of photos of what appeared to be"rainbow clouds" featuring lush colors against a bright blue sky. Most of the photos were taken in the Tremonton area in northern Utah.
While"rainbow clouds" are the perfect slang term for what was seen, the occurrence is actually called cloud iridescence, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. NOAA says the"phenomenon happens when small water droplets or small ice crystals scatter the sun's light" in a variety of different clouds.
Because clouds have to be thin and also contain a lot of water droplets or ice crystals, cloud iridescence is an extremely rare event.
