This was my first time seeing what looked like a smaller, second sun. It was bright, but included the colors from the rainbow instead of being only white light.

Spotted around 4:30 PM, Feb-2-2012, in Garland County Arkansas, USA.

The rainbow was first mentioned in the book of Genesis, written by Moses, after the great flood. I would like to know what God thinks about these rainbow balls or “sun dogs”.

“And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.”

Genesis, Chapter 9
