Residents of Khorgas city in western China observed what looked like three suns hanging above the horizon, the Daily Mail reported, citing eyewitnesses.
Such optical illusions are a rare natural phenomenon known as a 'sun dog'. It happens when sunlight passes through ice crystals in a certain way when they are suspended in the air, the paper adds.
The stunning footage has been shared on social media.
