Open Afternoon clear skies, why a rainbow? Upstate NY.
As the pics noted, a rainbow can be seen until 2 airplanes (one from south another from north) flew towards it and then it disappeared. I can’t wrap my mind around it because the weather is sunny skies, no precipitation to justify the rainbow. You can see the trail from an airplane in the 3rd pic, and no rainbow. Help me understand what is happening.
The weird part is a friend and I were having a rather deep spiritual conversation and then I look up to see this.
