87 Tennessee

I was driving along Hwy 64 through Tennessee earlier today and I saw this wierd light in the sky. Sort of a mini-rainbow but they havent had rain in weeks. Anybody know what causes this?

Those are iridescent clouds. Seehttp://www.atoptics.co.uk/droplets/irid1.htm for an explanation (be sure to see the additional pictures). -- Victor

Way too far south I think- plus I was facing South

Could be an Aurora Borealis (SP). But those are usually seen mainly up north at night. Could have been a weird reflection too...
