This is the spectacular moment a pilot's halo rainbow appears on the clouds below an aircraft.

Footage shows the circular rainbow surrounding the plane's shadow, illuminating the sky in Phrae, Thailand on December 27.

Passengers on board were stunned as they witnessed the rare phenomenon.

The filmer said: 'It was my first time seeing a circular rainbow and it was so cool.'

A glory is an optical phenomenon that appears as a series of concentric rings of coloured light around the shadow of an observer. They are also known as a pilot's halo.

It is caused by sunlight interacting with water droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere, such as in clouds or mist.
