Details:
I was going out to walk the dog when I quickly looked up at the incoming high cirrus clouds and saw 2 faint sundogs, then a very faint halo, then a slightly brighter circumscribed arc on the upper side of the halo... and then I realized there was a long white, colourless line moving onward from the sundogs and forming a circle... on the other side there were airplane contrails mixed in the cirrus but this long arc was definately not a contrail... OMG ! That's a parhelic circle ! First one I ever saw. went back in to grab my camera with a fisheye lens.
