Could it be sun light refracted through ice crystals-a sort of prismatic effect? While unusual-I certainly have not seen anything like it-it could be a wholly natural phenomenon.

Not ruling out a plasma effect or earthquake lights-there certainly have been a number of earth related and atmospheric things going on, to be sure. Don't know about HARRP being responsible...anything goes these days.
 
It is not the first time that people see this kind of clouds before an earthquake. I remember that they said this before the earthquake of Chile.





This sky is before the earthquake in China in 2008 I think so.



This one is in Indonesia, in 2010

 
As I was spending my vacation in Portugal in 2003 I could already watch this kind of colourful phenomenon. It was spread over a very large sector of the sky, not just focused on one area. The surprising thing is nobody was paying attention, maybe they were already familiar with it in that particular area. I don´t know because I was just in transit and didn´t ask at the time. But I spent a couple of hours watching this awesome watercolour roof with my husband feeling very impressed.
 
Most of the MSM are attributing this phenomenon to cloud iridescence.

Footage from earlier this week shows pedestrians in Costa Rica gazing up as a vivid halo of color seems to billow out of a mysterious cloud.

The spectacular display of light was spotted in the sky on Tuesday in cities including San Jose, Escazu and Hatillo, according to ABC News.

The dazzling event was an example of a phenomenon called cloud iridescence, according to Peggy Lamone, senior scientist emerita at the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

Judging by the video, Lamone said, it's likely that something in the area -- either the top of a rain cloud or a nearby mountain -- acted as a barrier and pushed the air upward.

"When the air gets lifted upward and there is enough moisture, it condenses into water droplets," Lamone told The Huffington Post. "These tiny particles interact with the light by a process called diffraction. It separates the light, much like a prism, into different colors."

"My suspicion is that the sun was nearby," she added.

The chances of seeing cloud iridescence depend on the season and where you live, Lamone said. Cooler temperatures offer the best conditions, and the cloud needs to be in the same part of the sky as the sun.

If these conditions line up, and if you're lucky, you just might see a display from the heavens.

It looks like there is an element of cloud iridescence, but it has a 'plasma-like shape' to it also I think. The fact that so much seismic activity occurred at a similar time, most notable being the huge earthquake off Chile, suggests it could have been a type of 'earthquake lights' too.
