You can tell this is a natural phenomena because it is beautiful and majestic. We get strange noctilucent clouds here in Montreal lately but they are neither beautiful nor majestic because they are chemtrails and there is nothing beautiful about chemtrails.

What is the purpose of chemtrails and how it happens

That is the question that has led many an unsuspecting soul down the rabbit hole.

What you ask is what we are all trying to figure out. I have some subscriptions, faves, and playlists pertaining to chemtrails if ur interested.

I began noticing and observing this atmospheric phenomena (NLC's) during the early twilight hours of sunrise from NZ last year 2008.

It has been my experience on the mornings I have observed NLC's appearance, I only have a short window of time to observe and enjoy them.

Naturally as the sun began to rise, the NLC's became difficult to see, faded.

For your info: These photos (put together in a time lapse movie) are taken by Jacek Stegman, professor at the Meteorological Institute at the University of Stockholm, Sweden. That's where the images are from also! :o)

Just beautiful, though the increase of appearance of these type of clouds is rather worrying.

As for the flash at 6 secnds:

the first light i guess is a guy with a torch or some fixed light source, and the second burst is the rocket.

Fantastic stuff! NLC are lovely to see, and also very interesting, i like how the time lapse shows how the structures change shape and move throught the display, people should be asking about the NLC not the firework!

I think it looks like bottle rocket or some kind of fireworks. The wierd thing is that this video is a time lapse video, but there really isn't a whole lot of time between lighting the fuse and shooting off. Since it's time lapsed it looks like it may have taken forever for the thing to launch.
