There's a curious image and brief video at http://spaceweathergallery.com/indiv_upload.php?upload_id=130105 showing an arc of something above the wing of a commercial flight. No flight details were reported.

Video description translated:
I suggested elsewhere that the something are ice crystals, probably plates reflecting sunlight. The orientation may be due to vortexes, turbulence, or something else.
Have people here seen this phenomenon?
The video is important, the image is a composite of the whole video and is very different. Think time lapse photo.

Details:
Something like diamond dusts glitter on plane.
I saw some glittering particles on a wing of my airplane.
They aligns along an arc.
I composited the frames from a movie, and I found 2 arcs on the wing.
I do not know whether there are actually 2 arcs of ice crystals or one can see 2 arcs due to the relationship among me and the crystals and the Sun.

There was something glittering on the airplane wing.
Things such as diamond dust, have been sparkling along the arc-shaped. Arc-shaped Nanoha, what are lined up that way, I do not know whether this is so in relation to the sunlight.
