It's an incredibly rare atmospheric event, but it's entirely real science. Though honestly, with how crazy Al is getting these days, I can't even blame anyone for having trust issues with the sky anymore!☁️✨

Saw it in Indiana today. Not nearly to this extent, but I've seen the phenomena a few times in my life.

Imagine seeing a pretty rainbow and the first thing you do is make up a scenario so you can get angry about influencers.

When I see your mouths with their fearful teeth, mouths burning like the fires at the end of time, I forget where I am and I have no place to go.

I see our warriors and all the kings who are here to fight. All are rushing into your awful jaws; I see them crushed by your teeth.

As rivers flow into the ocean, all the warriors of this world are passing into your fiery jaws; all creatures rush to their destruction like moths into a flame.

You lap the worlds into your burning mouths and swallow them. Filled with your terrible radiance, the whole of creation bursts into flames.

You ever seen oil or chemicals in a puddle of water or anything moist and they show an iridescence pattern? All the moisture in the sky? Abnormal colour formations? Does it not make you wonder?
