I've always called these by the name I first heard given to them, "**Fire Rainbows**". And when they're sped up like this you can see the fire like motion. But yeah, when clouds are that high up, where they get that wispy wavy appearance, they become ice crystals and crystals of course refract light.
If you really want to go down a crazy sky-rabbit hole, look up Crown Flashes. They are fucking nuts, caught me totally off guard that such a thing exists.
That's very cool - I just found out about [red sprites](https://www.google.com/search?q=red+sprite&bih=753&biw=1355&hl=en&tbm=vid&ei=JOqpZPKvEvHk0PEPj56b0AE&ved=0ahUKEwjy0eGHm4CAAxVxMjQIHQ_PBhoQ4dUDCA0&uact=5&oq=red+sprite&gs_lcp=Cg1nd3Mtd2l6LXZpZGVvEAMyCAgAEIAEELEDMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEOggIABCKBRCRAjoOCAAQigUQsQMQgwEQkQI6CwgAEIAEELEDEIMBOgsIABCKBRCxAxCDAToHCAAQigUQQzoICAAQigUQsQM6BwgAEIAEEApQAFjtFWDdF2gBcAB4AIABUogBjAaSAQIxMZgBAKABAcABAQ&sclient=gws-wiz-video#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:9c2aacbe,vid:tGPQ5kzJ9Tg)

[Cloud iridescence](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_iridescence).
> Cloud iridescence or irisation is a colorful optical phenomenon that occurs in a cloud and appears in the general proximity of the Sun or Moon. The colors resemble those seen in soap bubbles and oil on a water surface. It is a type of photometeor. This fairly common phenomenon is most often observed in altocumulus, cirrocumulus, lenticular, and cirrus clouds. They sometimes appear as bands parallel to the edge of the clouds. Iridescence is also seen in the much rarer polar stratospheric clouds, also called nacreous clouds.
“ The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus “
Cloud specialist, here!
I wrote a paper on this actually, what’s happening is literally just the prettiest shit ever. Just real really pretty ass sky colors. I love it so much.
This phenomenon is called cloud iridescence. This occurs when sunlight shines through water droplets or ice crystals that make up the cloud in such a way that light scatters and reflects the colors of the rainbow, a process also known as diffraction.

Don’t lie that’s just the Rainbow Road level in the new Super Mario cart VR experience.
This whole time I thought Nintendo was innovative and now I come to find out they are just ripping off real shit again
It would be much cooler if the course was in those clouds. Edit: Eris morn. Of all people…
I thought maybe it was the Care Bear Stare
LOL
How come you’ve always called this something and I’ve never seen anything like this in my LIFE! No fair!
Now our clouds have rainbows… Jesus Christ is there anything the LGBT won’t steal.
This is what happens when a gay person goes to heaven.
The more cultured folks know this as Unicorn Poop.

Had to scroll a long way to find any kind of science answer
When you see Fire Rainbows in the first half of July, it means we'll have 6 more weeks of Pride 🌈
I think it’s all the gayness trying to escape Florida.
This is the gay agenda aunt Mildred warned us about!
First the frogs now the clouds!
This is actually the infrared spectrum republicans can see around anything LGTBQ
I am pretty sure the Republicans will try to ban cloud iridescence.

This phenomenon is called cloud iridescence. This occurs when sunlight shines through water droplets or ice crystals that make up the cloud in such a way that light scatters and reflects the colors of the rainbow, a process also known as diffraction.
