    Lacunosus and Asperitas sometimes get confused.. They can co-exist during  an event.  I caught the bully wind  pushing around some lacunosus behind my back, but I don’t stay still long and caught the wind rolling the cloud there low right of center

    I almost missed this one  too Ruth.   I swear, not a few days after President Musk started laying off air traffic controllers, this happened!   Yep, we got arcs colliding into each other . Look carefully!!  From the bottom up, 22 degree halo, upper tangent arc, Perry Arc, then BAM! the circum Zenith arc  gets run over by the  44(?) degree arc..Thank goodness no body got hurt,.

    Below has already been flipped. I prefer the upside down perspective.

    This one is a bit less strange seen upside down so  I leave it as shot.

    This one does the rare satisfying the technical  needs of whats going as well as providing an esthetically  pleasing  perspective upside down . So I post it upside down

    As soon as I recognized the upper tangent arc  time slowed down and I started a methodical take down  of what was going on. All the few other upper tangent arcs I’ve seen were rather flat compared to this one so I began looking for a parhelic  circle . There was only one sundog (north) and it was brite.  Not seeing any makings for a circle something was there that normally isn’t and it came and went in intensity as contrail and cirrus drifted  along. I saw the 44(?) before I saw the circumzennie and the Perry arc, which also grew and faded as per the mix of cloud passing  thru. Is it possible the mysterious 44 degree halo, in this case was  at least 50%  parented by man made cloud?

    Look at the top third of this one. Cloud getting rolled by the wind.
