Halo Phenomena Time Lapse

There was a beautiful Circumzenithal Arc accompanied by two lovely Sun dogs but there was another strange arc that I have never seen before.

There was an Arc that joined the two Sun dogs wrapping around the sky opposite the the circumzenith arc. You can see part of one at the bottom of the screen on the third clip.

I thought maybe it was a cloud bow but I thought they came from the horizon?

Actually, what you have there at the beginning of the video is an upper tangent arc. The arc you describe in the lower right after 1:00 is called a parhelic circle =)

Gah, sorry, I didn't realize that what is usually the "Enter" key is actually the Send key on an iPad... I was going to say, the first arc is actually a circumscribed halo, and a gorgeous one at that!!!
