Plasma  - Again

here is a very interesting story...

It came via Frank Warren at the UFO Chronicles and posted on Facebook.

This video made the rounds as a UFO but an odd thing has happened.  Because of pressure by people that gave the true explanation, he CHANGED the title (not Frank... the OP video maker)

It's caused by light refracting through ice crystals above the cloud. There is a magnetic field that is constantly building and dissipating above the storm cloud that changes the orientation of the ice crystals, making it look like it jumps around. It's not a secret government project or aliens, you kooks, it's just weather. It is called a Crown Flash or Leaping Sundog if you want to do some independent research.

Atmospheric phenomenon called "Jumping SunDogs" (other names used too).

Jumping Sundogs Over Thunderclouds


Explanation:

What's happening above those clouds? In the past few years, videos have appeared on the web detailing an unusual but little known phenomenon: rapid light changes over clouds. Upon inspection and contemplation, a leading hypothesis for its cause has now emerged. In sum, this hypothesis holds that a lightning discharge in a thundercloud can temporarily change the electric field above the cloud where charged ice crystals were reflecting sunlight. The new electric field quickly re-orients the geometric crystals to a new orientation that reflects sunlight differently. In other words, a lightning discharge can cause a sundog to jump. Soon, the old electric field may be restored, causing the ice crystals to return to their original orientation. To help this curious phenomenon become better studied, sky enthusiasts with similar jumping or dancing sundog videos are encouraged to share them.
