Crown Flash

This happened in Greenwood, Indiana USA I was out riding my bicycle and a storm was approaching, then this strange light caught my eye so I pulled out my phone and shot this video. Crown Flash is when ice particles get aligned in the same direction from the electrostatic field created during a thunderstorm. Its usually invisible to the naked eye but the way the sun hits it, it makes it visible to the naked eye kind of like a rainbow. THANKS, everyone who left a comment. If it wasn’t for you I would never have found out what this was. Feel free to leave a comment of what you think.
