[NewCandle] Sichuan earthquake lights explained

[Keith Nagel]

Hi Horace,

If you look at the very end of the clip ( about 3:10 to the end )
the upper right hand corner of the screen lightens noticably. The
quake was recorded at ~2:30PM China Standard Time. So this phenomena
was recorded at about 2PM. The sun looks high in the sky, and to
the right of the frame. Does the direction of the color gradient
match that sun position? 

K.

Looks like a sun dog effect to me.  I expect the sun angle to the  
clouds is 22 degrees, and the sun is just rising and possibly just  
below the horizon with respect to the photographer. This kind of  
thing is common in northern latitudes, a little odd for that far  
south.  It is due to sunlight reflecting off ice crystals in cirrus  
clouds.   For some not so great examples see:
