      I couldn’t find the exact source, but it looks much more like multiple exposures than anything else. For example, it is entirely the wrong shape, distance, and number to be sun dogs.

      What did you find in your search?

        I found a few sources saying it’s an extreme example of a sun dog, and a video, which I suppose could be AI. Another, mentioning two whole suns in Russia.

          Sun dogs happen at a specific angle and result in up to three bright spots. There are 4 lights. They are spaced unevenly and far too close together. There is no distortion and there is a cloud in front of the rightmost image. This is a timelapse of four pictures. The “video” is just the still image with motion effects added.
