Spirit In The Sky


When I die and they lay me to rest,
Gonna go to the place that's the best.
When I lay me down to die,
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky...


Sorry, what? Oh.

Another weather-and-rainbows-related phenomenon for you guys- an MSNBC article has highlighted this strange formation that occurred this week over Washington, captured by a resident. From the article:

The colorful phenomenon known as a circumhorizon arc occurs when sunlight strikes cirrus clouds — the kind that typically look like cotton candy and form very high in the sky — at a certain angle.

Pretty neato.

Silly non-bronies, making up new names for Sonic Rainbooms all the time.

So cute.

Ponies walk among us

Rainbow Dash is At it AGAIN!! :)

Remnants of the sonic rainboom can reach even the nonbelievers eyes.

Entropy said...

"circumhorizon arc"
The informal name "Fire Rainbow" sounds much better.

Dash really does like to show off huh?

RToasts said...

That's clearly a misconception. The well-educated as us would always definitely note it as a regular phenomenon of a Sonic Rainboom.

Filiecs said...

And at the bottom of the article there is another article talking about doomsday...

THE EVIDENCE IS UNDENIABLE! THE PONYACOLYPSE WILL SOON BE UPON US!

And y'all call yourselves Bronies. Rainbooms are round. That there is clearly the "Buccaneer Blitz".

Awww, man, Cereal. You're taking me back to my time in the 90s, where you could remix anything with basketball entrance music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0Mm5o_lkus

I enjoy the fact that the blog I follow the most keeps me apprised of interesting and aesthetically pleasing atmospheric phenomena.

More pretty rainbows please.

ponies live among us, they are disguised as humans and watching us every day, soon we will ascend into equestria in our new purer forms and all of the non believers will be left to burn on earth.

Kujiiro said...

That's really phenomenal!

RBD FAN said...

Rainbow dash is known to show off!

Gravenstein said...

RBD FAN said...

Yea, I noticed that a lot of these weird things about rainbows and colors popping up all over the world lately ever since FiM became super popular.

Maybe somehow our FRINDSHIP AND LOVE is ripping a whole in space to the Ponies unverise!!!!

Friendship truely is magic!

DareDreamer said...

It...looks like Rainbow Dash. I can actually see her head shape o_o These ponies, they drive me to insanity! Very pretty indeed, though :)

Ooh, Norman Greenbaum.

mykowskis said...

This has RD written ALL over it.

Well it IS Tim Allen.

EquusStorm said...

Awesome, but I personally am still waiting on the phenomenon known as "portal to Equestria opening".

RBD FAN said...

@Equus

And I can picture Trollestia floating next to the portal thats like 50 miles in the air. Smiling at us cause we cant fricken reach it!

Monix said...

I saw this earlier today and new it would be posted here, pretty cool!

Drax said...

Cuz, you got a friend in Ponies!

Bejoty said...

The weather over here is just gearing up for Northwest Bronyfest. B)

Bronies said...

Rainbow Dash escaped with help of Pinkie Pie, now they are free ;) Its beautifull.

B-Man said...

@RBD FAN

I highly doubt they're more common. Awareness has just skyrocketed. >_>

/seriousness

Gravenstein said...

@RBD FAN no man you don't get the portal on EARTH, you have to get into the Medium first before you get the portal to the Land of Ponies and Magic

RBD FAN said...

@Gravestein

I don't think anypony here would actually give up their human life to become a random pony(Peg,uni,earth) pony if somehow a portal did open up!

2007excalibur2007 said...

Oh Rainbow Dash. You showoff pegasus you.

Anonymous said...

Rainbow Dash can sonic rainboom through parallel universes now.

it's only a matter of time :D

Anonymous said...

It's the Spirit of Rainbow Dash! What could this mean? :O

Anonymous said...

It's a pretty picture and a nifty effect, but this has nothing to do with ponies. Not every rainbow is a "sonic rainboom". I really just can't see why this deserves a post here.

Anonymous said...

It means that, the next time we see this signal.....


It heralds the beginning of phase two of operation "overpony"....
Invasion.

Sadly, it will be a couple of years yet before bronies will have infiltrated every level of society to sufficiently facilitate the pony takeover.

Wow, it looks like RD made a really sharp turn there.

T'laren said...

Okay, that's wicked awesome.

Anonymous said...

I've actually seen this, and it was freaking amazing. It's pretty rare.

Anonymous said...

RD performed a sonic rainboom maybe? :D it's weird because yesterday I saw a rainbow too. RD is somewhere out there ^-^ or so I like to believe.

Alester said...

This weather phenomenon has RD written all over it. She intended to arrange the clouds like that.

FUN FACT: Elton John did a cover of "Spirit In The Sky". It was one of those "before they were famous" things.

Gallant Vision said...

Aw, I missed Rainbow Dash's latest Sonic Rainboom! D>

Sora of the Wind said...

You guys it's obvious it's a care bear stare! Lol, jk these actually happen a lot in Ohio in the summer time. When I was little I use to think it was the angels or God opening the heavens to look down on us.
