And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Airplane's shadow causes double rainbow on the cloud
There's some sort of prismatic effect there. It doesn't appear to be known if the photo was taken through a window or some sort of clear housing. There's any number of possibilities that to happen.
And I really dislike the correlation of a rainbow, which is a wonder of nature, to be compared to a freak of nature.
It is called a 'glory' and is caused when the viewer's shadow is cast on fog or clouds. Incidentally, the study of that phenomenon ended up taking the first pictures of the atom.
Gaydar...?
