Rare Atmospheric Optical Phenomena Ranked

So I've got like 5 tornado videos coming out next but since were not quite in tornado season, I decided to do an optical phenomena ranking video. Plus I've just be super interested in this stuff.

I also probably pronounced a few words incorrectly, my b

Hey, how about making a list like this, but with types of clouds? I would love to see a rank with mammatus, roll, fallstreak hole, asperitas, lenticular cloud and more

[SoCal]

As a truck driver with crazy hours, I have seen several of these phenomena but certainly not all of them. Many of these images were absolutely amazing, thanks! Loved this video, you never disappoint!👍 PS I lived in CORONA, CA for 4 years!

Man, the rarest thing I've ever seen was a double rainbow and I feel like I'm missing out.

[cheetajet]

I love looking at rainbows in rain clouds from above while I'm working on the plane. It's pretty cool and sorta moves along with the plane. Meanwhile no one on the ground can see them because they are covered in cloud down there.

[rodricbr]

I've seen one rainbow halo once in my life, perfectly round around the sun and you could see every color of the rainbow in it. It was also on a very cold and cloudless day
I'll never forget it, one of a kind experience

[JohnnyAngel]

I've seen double rainbows a few times. Once, I witnessed a double rainbow with a lightning storm against dark clouds within it (under the arc). Awesome sight.

A few weeks ago, i had a rare experience of a shadow curtain effect:

Early Western look at an eastbound flight, the sun cast shadows using the contrails diagonally across the sky.

As the sky grew brighter, the shadows grew darker, which started to block the blue sky much thicker.

For a brief moment, the stars shone through the gap, which was a unique view that has not been documented so far as I've researched.

[spookyfrogs]

dude, this is MY SHIT. please more. i'm mad it took me so long to come across this channel but i'm so glad i did :D

[markmnorcal]

These atmospheric rivers hitting California are awesome!

[stxllarvision]

there are not many feelings greater than seeing a circumzenithal arc and telling somebody who's never seen one before to look up

[______IV]

Standing at the top of the Grand Canyon, I saw a 270 ° rainbow starting at the bottom and sweeping up and out to my level. Blew me away.

I remember vividly as a kid, I was in the car on a highway in the evening and me and my sister saw the most beautiful cloud. It was harp shaped, golden in the middle, and on top were several striped iridescent/rainbow domes. My mom was furious because I kept on taking off my seatbelt to look at it but it was worth it since I’ve never seen anything like it since. For a while a thought I hallucinated it, but now I can say it was almost certainly cloud iridescence or nacreous clouds.

Also as a kid I had a book about rare phenomena and the green flash was in it. I was obsessed with trying to see it so I watched countless sunsets and even as a adult it has eluded me.Maybe one day.

[tabbycarrie]

So glad that I found this channel! It fits my niche exactly.

Very well done! Having lived in El Dorado, KS (or as the locals say it “L-dough-ray-dough”) We would sit pensively as the sirens would sound and the second that tone began to drop (attack tone) we’d run for the storm shelter. One night there was a malfunction. What was supposed to be a tornado watch (steady tone) the wail sounded more like the hi-low tone. We sat confused as we didn’t know the siren could do that.

Hey Jake, another awesome video! Some of the best content on YT, imo. Super interesting and very full of information. Some of them I’ve seen, some only heard of and a few I’ve never heard of! The last few seem like they belong on one of those “paranormal, caught on camera” shows. Thanks for uploading man! Keep on keepin on!

[kenadeebiersack]

I honestly couldn't be more amazed. Wow. BEAUTIFUL

One summer morning nearly twenty years ago, I was building a compost bin for a friend in the Catskills. At about 10 AM, she came out to inspect. During our conversation I began noticing a rainbow forming; but, there had been no rain.

I am familiar with rainbows: at the horizon opposite to a low positioned afternoon sun. This sun was fairly high but hidden behind scattered clouds. The rainbow was forming not at the horizon but overhead and it was forming a circle around 90 degrees wide from my point of view when I held up my framing square!

Having retired and and beginning to live near Woodstock, NY, I was not familiar with country weather phenomena and asked my friend if this was common. She had never seen such a rainbow but was not impressed.

In the partly cloudy sky the rainbow completed its circle then began to form a second inner rainbow, just like those in double rainbows.

I thought about taking a picture, but, in the era before cell phone cameras, my Nikon was in the house many yards away. So, I do not have any documentation about this double rainbow that formed directly over head.

Over the years I have enquired about how such a phenomenon might form, such as the sun reflecting off the nearby reservoir but that at an equal angle to the sun’s angle and opposite to the sun.

This was a perfect double rainbow at zenith with an angular displacement from my eye of 90 degrees!

I am familiar with the phenomena you have described in your video, but have never ever had the phenomenon I saw described anywhere. Nor have I had its cause explained.

Do you have an explanation?

[ppppp]

Thanks for your time stamp,
It so helpfull for me to understand each phenomena.

[OuaisAmelie]

i clicked on the video expecting to see cool clouds and stuff but then was immediately jumpscared by a beautiful man wtf

Were you pursuing a career in being a weatherman at any point? The intro to the vid, and seeing the weatherman made me think to ask. Your voice and demeanor are perfect for the job, or for this job of being a YouTuber! good stuff
