ON-CAMPUS 'FIGHT CLUB:' A former substitute teacher was charged last week with supervising a student "fight club" at a Connecticut high school. Police say cell phone video shows Ryan Fish, 23, encouraging students as they slap each other in the middle of a classroom. Police began investigating when a student told a social worker he was beaten at school. http://bit.ly/2qy6MAo

Wow !
Incredible image...have not seen one before. !!
I'm not buying the explanation, I have seen these horizontal puffs coming out of the jets that cloud our blue skies. as the wind blows the particles and chemistry they are dumping on us into fine veil like mists, the sun if in the right angle shows the colorful effect although the colors are more like gasoline floating in the water and not refraction from water vapor like a rainbow or sun dog.
I caught a glimpse of one yesterday and the day before, had never seen before...pretty amazing!
