Details:
Went outside at around 530 MST on 12/13 to catch a glimpse of some meteors and was stunned by the sight of these clouds and the moonbow which caused rainbow colors on the clouds as well as the other Iridescent clouds. I watched this phenomenon until about 6am when the initial light from the sun started to come and the colors were gone. Also I have a time-lapse of this that i will be sharing on my upcoming website!! Thank you!!

These are highly unusual to be produced by moonlight alone, Do not be surprised if you read about a small earthquake in the news around your region.
