They can appear at many sun angles and are NOT just seen around a solstice. Note also that the moon now has a COLOR rainbow effect around it at times too. Also that the sun has at times a full circle around it in color too. They are NOT in any of the old textbooks about the atmosphere over ten years ago either.

Very interesting. I saw one of these five days ago, due west, in the early morning sky. Was wondring what to call them. The one I saw looked exactly like the one in the pic you provide buy was oriented due north. Made me smile. Good way to start the day.
