A weird weather phenomenon was observed by many in the sky over Stockton, California on May 9, 2014.

After receiving bunch of pictures News10 ABC asked around to decrease the fear of Stockton residents.

Now, NOAA has an idea of what it could have been. This weird cloud phenomenon was most probably created by ice crystals falling through a hole punch cloud, refracting light.

Look like baby boys and baby girls for stockton.
It looks more like a fire rainbow to me, with the last photo that seems almost rainbowish.
Yes it’s right, but you also have a kind of hole in the sky… And as you said you also see a rainbow colors due to refraction.
