  • whats the squares at the top of the screen at 1:03 to 1:04 ?

  • @TOPHERHARPER I think it was just a bit of the previously recorded material causing a "blip" in this recording. I was using a miniDV tape, and had taped over something in order to shoot this.

  • so then what is a sun dog exactly??

  • @dimmub69 Check out wikipedia for a pretty good explanation. Just search for sun dog. I wasn't able to include the link in this reply.

  • its beautiful yes, but unfortunately it looks more like to me, that its thelight from the sun reflecting off the windows into the lens.

  • @ddlg4you I can see how you could have come to that conclusion. However, I can assure you that I was outside, standing on my back porch when I shot this. There was no window to look through. I guess the only "evidence" of this being shot outdoors is the sound of the snowmobile that passes by. I hope you get to see sun dogs in real life some day. Thanks for the critique. I have another sun dog video, too.

see all

  • @coptersoisoi Sundogs are cause by ice crystals refracting light. Similiar to a rainbow.

  • Wtf?

  • @skunksnag Hahahahaha

    Meow that was a goodin

  • @TOPHERHARPER  sun cats..

  • Watching this, the one seen in China resently looks nothing like a sun dog..

  • A sign from the Great White Hunter, and its good.

  • Do we see Sun Dogs and Rainbows because of the arc shape of our pupil or lens of the eyes or because of the sphere shape of our planet (Though I doubt our visual sky is arc that much of a degree) or why? I ask because more and more people are video taping what looks like something popping out of the back of the sun. I don't want to be sidetracked. Maybe they're filmed all the time but it's a trend now. or is it that twin earth you always heard about we can never see :P

  • Man, you get a view like this from your back porch? Some people get all the luck.

  • @Climiest Cool, its an awesome video.

    the blip was frustrating, I kept rewinding and wast forwarding and pausing trying to catch it, but couldnt.

    It almost looked like carl sagan's symbol for our communication device.
