Back between 1995-1998 Some what of a broad time line I know but it was winter. Location was Michigan!
I assume i seen this due to the Great lakes. That is my only explaination!
7 full circle rainbows - it was breath taking. i so wish i had a camra but realisticly there is no way i could of shot the sky like that sooooo...


Here is a digital image I created of what Me and some coworkers and some other strangers plus my mothers seen!
look at image as if your looking straigh up into the sky!

Would love any sort of logical or some sort of connection weather it be religion or whatever!
Just give me something! Thanks!

Here's a Wikipedia explanation of halos:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_%28optical_phenomenon%29

Maybe this will be of help to explain what you saw. Possibly a variation of halo phenomena.

i have a book on the natural world that says a rainbow appears in the shape it does because of the ground or something. if there was no ground at all, the rainbow itself would be in a circle shape.

I just went on the link that StarMountainKid posted and I think that the rainbows must have been created by ice crystals....reflecting and refracting light.

You did say that it was winter.

It must, though, have been a special moment to have seen all those rainbow circles....as I presume that positions of the ice crystals and the angles of light would have to be just right....as would your viewing position.

Beautiful picture.

Rainbows are what I believe, are God's gift. He said he would never cleanse the planet again, until it is time for heaven and earth to be together. that's what I believe.

yeah i have heard the whole rainbows are raincircle things kinda logical i guess they are very pretty

I've seen a pictur of an airliner fly through a rainbow. That high they are round

Halos only occur AROUND the sun...for them to occur anywhere else would not fit the geometry of optics.

Right that's why i need an explaintion of what i saw! it don't fit it was crazy!
but there was in winter and ice makes rainbows too!

Thanks for your input

on a bright day if you squeeze a garden hose and spray a fine spray in the air you can make the full circle rainbows

pockets of moisture in the air?

Weird!

I have no ideas on this at all lol.

Personally, I have only ever seen double rainbows and once I saw a triple one. However, they were normal rainbows, not full circles.

What a shame nobody had a camera it would have made a superb shot!

I have no idea...sorry.

Upside Down Rainbow - Video

Don't see the video around do to it being a UFO and can't be shown until a plane is put in.

I think there might be other unusual weather phenomena in the gallery.

A circle intersects a cone, so perhaps a fleet of planes may have traveled through ice

or rain with the sun out.

There are 7 rainbows. Maybe that is 1 rainbow for each age of the Earth. Now, we have ended the 7th age. No more raincoats, no more umbrellas, no more teachers, no more books! School's Out ForEver!
