I had the cloud image analyzed by a friend who magnified and zoomed it over 1,000 times, then had the pixel count cross-checked by a computer program.
Yes, the image IS behind the clouds - not a lens flare. HOWEVER, there are pixels of blue sky showing THROUGH the image - impossible (or at least extremely unlikely) if it were a solid mass. The positioning of the image removes it from the geometric line of lens flares caused by the sunset. In other words, it is SOMETHING ELSE very similar to a reflection or a mirage.
IN MY OINION we are seeing a reflection of the sunset on a super-heated ionospheric mirror (essentially a mirage) generated by HAARP some hundreds of miles to the North of Vancouver, in Alaska.
I have offered this analogy several times, as an explanation regarding the orbital and rotational antics of the moon as observed from near Seattle.
It is what we are SEEING, no question - but what we are seeing is different than what IS.
I trust my friend's analysis. It's an illusion.
My apology to ESCLARMONDE stands.
My respects to Useless Eater as well. His physics make sense to me. We would indeed be experiencing sun flares, incredible Earth changes AND WE WOULD NOT EVEN BE HAVING THIS CONVERSATION if something that big were that close.
All this too, might be worth reviewing if possible, a year from now. I do not discount the possible existence of planet X, a second sun illuminating the moon from an occluded position behind our own sun, the Tooth Fairy, Santa Clause or ANYTHING.
I believe in everything. One of it is bound to be True.
Thank you. Thank you both.
