An account in Paris, France

On June 16, 2013 at around 1:30 p.m., a witness notices that when putting on his sunglasses, he sees blue and pink lights in the sky, which he immediately photographs. No other testimony will be collected on this phenomenon. The witness observes iridescent reflections in the sky in Paris, but only when he observes this through his sunglasses; a photo also reveals the phenomenon. The appearance of the phenomenon suggests iridescent clouds, but, according to an expert from Météo-France, this type of phenomenon only occurs around very high clouds (Cirrus), which is not the case here (high stratocumulus or altocumulus). GEIPAN classifies this case "B": optical phenomenon probably caused by the reflection of the sun on the sunglasses and on the camera lens.
