I saw a complete double rainbow once with one of them seeming to end on the flight deck of USS CARL VINSON.

Now that can a guy all misty eyed.

Double rainbows are seen occasionally from aircraft cockpits at higher altitudes, along with fog bows and cloud bows.

Try to ignore Dopin' Dan's "God of the Gaps" syndrome and check out: Robert Greenler's Rainbows, Halos and Glories, Cambridge University Press, 1980.
