Tim:

That blue halo over Jupiter brought back memories.

In '68 or '69 (forgot which) my dad was on the road in Arizona and saw a "halo" cloud. Being an avid amateur photographer, he stopped the car, got out and took a few shots of the cloud.

About a month later he noticed an ad in his local paper (in Apache Junction, AZ) from a U. of Arizona professor (name of MacDonand, I think I recall) asking anyone who had photographed the unusual halo cloud (giving the date) to contact him with details especially about when and where the photo was taken. Dad did and eventually sent copies of his photos to MacDonald. About a year later MacDonald's story appeared in _Science_ saying that this was the highest cloud (over 50,000 feet) ever photographed. Dad's best picture appeared in color on the cover of that issue of _Science_.
