The myth that a pot of gold lies at the end of the rainbow can finally be dispelled: it seems that there might not be any end to the rainbow at all!

In this rare event, captured by a drone operator in Omagh, Northern Ireland, the rainbow clearly stretches out into a full circle, with the bottom half of the bow connecting up with the more traditionally visible top arc.

A rare event, a heavy shower was falling and a vivid rainbow appeared, I took a chance and launched my drone despite a few rain drops still falling from the sky, when I reached a certain height and panned the camera down I was blown away by what I saw, the rainbow could be seen on the grass below us, it actually connected up with the primary and secondary rainbow above forming a 360 degree bow, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, I quickly took video for a few fleeting minutes before the spectacle vanished, I have never since captured anything like this with my drone despite trying many times. You can also see the ancient Lissan House below, an old plantation home, the bow is visible rite over it at times.
