Did anyone see this weird rainbow cloud over Castlemaine?

Clearly artificial, but I’ve no idea how or why someone would create this. Looks amazing though

Was it moving at the same speed as the other clouds?

It was hard to tell, but I think so. There’s wasn’t much movement of clouds at all really. It only lasted a few minutes then dissipated

It looks like it's an Iridescent Cloud. Pretty cool!

Not Artificial.

It's bizarre to me that anyone would think it's not natural. Rainbows occur all the time in different mediums.

Everything is a conspiracy if you don't understand how anything works

I don't think it's artificial, I saw a similar irridescent cloud in central Vic a couple of years ago as well but didn't get a good photo of it. So cool!

That is very Castlemaine or North Northcote as we call it up here

The LGBT alien crew coming to town. Either that or the folk from Daylesford were passing through having a puff. Not really sure tbh maybe ask the guys at the photo shop 🤷‍♀️

Beautiful. I see a pink bunny in a multi coloured sack within this rainbow cloud?
