Leaping sundog video

This is a secondary solar reflection -- a "sundog" -- normally caused by cirrus clouds or other suspended ice crystals, especially near the horizon at sunset or sunrise. But there is an interesting complication here. A cumulus cloud is building underneath, and its varying electric field is causing the ice crystals in the cirrus to move around.

Great video. Never seen the phenomenon, thanks.
I was looking at the comments, some very funny. But I am still waiting for somebody to post "whoa, double rainbow, whoa, what does it mean, man??"

Btw, did you mean to post a link to the 92-sec mark?

No. It's fixed. Thanks.
