As explained by Reddit, this strange sky phenomenon you are seeing is:

[quote_box_center] sunlight reflecting off ice crystal faces that are constantly being oriented by the developing electric field just above the [cumulonimbus] top. Then there is a discharge in the cloud, and the field collapses momentarily, and the crystals begin to realign again. Then this just keeps happening over and over.[/quote_box_center]

The phenomenon is called “crown flash” or “leaping sun dog”.
