A bizarre light with an orange/rainbow ball on the tip was noticed by an eyewitness from the city of Winkeven (Utrecht region).

He's writing:

I saw a kind of cigar-shaped luminous strip with a predominantly orange ball at one of the points and light rainbow colors around it. Remained in the same place in the sky. 

I took some photos and earlier photos show a cigar-shaped swirl of clouds at the same distance from the sun and the light slowly rises, in the end it was a pretty bright little second sun.

The most likely explanation according to ufomeldpunt.nl - pargelius.

Original news

Bizar licht met oranje/regenboog lichtbol in de punt

VINKEVEEN, UT — Ik zag een soort sigaarvormige verlichte streep met een voornamelijk oranje bol aan een van de punten met wat lichte regenboog kleuren eromheen. Bleef op dezelfde plek in de lucht. Ik had meerdere foto’s gemaakt en
Op de eerdere foto’s is op dezelfde afstand van de zon een sigaarvormige kolking van wolken te zien en langzaam aan zie je het licht ontstaan op het laatst was het vrij fel soort kleine tweede zon.

Meest waarschijnlijke verklaring

Bijzon / Bijmaan

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Halo

Halo usually appears around the Sun or moon, sometimes around other powerful light sources such as street lights. There are many types of halos, but they are mostly caused by ice crystals in Cirrus clouds at a height of 5-10 km in the upper troposphere. The form of the observed halo depends on the shape and arrangement of crystals. Reflected and refracted by the ice crystals, the light often turns into a spectrum, which makes halo look like a rainbow, but a halo in low light has a low chroma, which is associated with the peculiarities of twilight vision.

Investigation

Versions testing, their confirmation or refutation. Additional information, notes during the study of materials

Based on its appearance, it is a natural optical phenomenon in the earth's atmosphere in the form of two bright spots of light to the left and right of the sun. Often you can see only one. It belongs to the category of halo phenomena that can be observed when the sun shines through ice crystals, often in the form of cirrus or cirrus-layered clouds.
