Believe it or not! Rainbows are not colourfast. We don't often see rainbows over Magnetic Island, and double rainbows are seen even less often. But this one over the Nelly Bay Harbour Marina is a definite scientific first.
Impossibly, the colours have 'run'! A bit like what can occur if one ignores the washing labels on new clothing. Look at the paler barely visible second arc. See it? Ok, now look to the right and note the mast on the moored yacht. Wow!

Now, those of us who heard, and listened at school would believe that 'a rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that causes a spectrum to appear in the sky when the Sun shines on droplets of water in the Earth's atmosphere.' wikipedia.org
Can the product of an optical phenomenon such as what occurred here be transferred to a single mast in an obscure marina? Bizarre. Perhaps some alien life form is responsible?
Can any one explain this?
Perhaps there is an obvious explanation out there. Start looking here & listen carefully for a clue at the very end of the clip.
