doughboy1956 Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 This blanket of fire, covering hundreds of square miles, is the rarest phenomenon of them all. It was spotted in the US on the Washington-Idaho border around midday last Saturday. Dr Jonathan Fox, of the US National Weather Service in Spokane, Washington, said: "It was even more spectacular than the Northern Lights. I feel lucky to have seen it because it only forms in very rare situations." "This is the first one I've ever seen. It was a breathtaking sight and it hung around for about an hour." To create a rainbow of fire, clouds must be at least 20,000ft high and the ice crystals within them align horizontally instead of their usual vertical position. The sun also needs to be at least 58 degrees above the horizon. Then, the magic can begin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
