It's something
SmashingAltoids OP t1_ita1qkk wrote
No, it's natural color photography of a rainbow just after sunset. High altitude does crazy things with colors. The Sangre de Cristo Mountains, range from about 7,200 to 14,200 feet above sea level. Or as high as about 7,000 feet above the valley (San Luis Valley, CO) floor.

Like a rainbow in the dark!

Yeah, kind of... Funny enough, we had a rainbow come up during the full moon last month at about 10 pm. I've never seen such a thing before. Wish I could have captured it.

I saw one of those this summer for the first time in my life. Wish I had captured it, but I'll always have the memory of it at least.
They are called Moonbows.

Is this night vision or UV or something?
