It's as if Mother Nature knew Starbucks' Unicorn Frappuccino was making waves last week and decided to retaliate with her own more stunning version. How else can you explain this phenomenon over Pagadian City in the Philippines this past Sunday? The woman who claims to have spotted it dubbed the formation a "unicorn rainbow cloud," since it resembles the flowing mane of the mythical creature.

Experts believe the rainbow is the result of a combination of the humidity, heat and tiny droplets of water suspended around the cloud. But such a rare occurrence doesn't last forever. "It wasn't in the sky for long. So I was lucky to be able to record it," Anne Salikala, the woman who spotted the formation, told Mirror. "Certainly, it has made a lot of people happy to look at it." Certainly, is true!

This cloud gives off a much happier vibe than some of the other insane formations we've seen lately, such as this one that looked like a fireball in Portugal and these odd UFO-like clouds seen in South Africa. But all of these phenomenons are a reminder of the amazing capabilities of nature.
