There is a free software called HaloSim which calculates/renders sun halos depending on the geometric shape of the ice crystals in the atmosphere. The site and the research of Les Cowley is well worth checking out:
In this case, it indeed seem to be "sundogs". Halos of the sun can have various and complex shapes, depending on the shape of the crystales. Here is a computer rendering of a full halo:
Here is the real world equivalent:
Also, according to Les Cowley:Halos appear in our skies far more often than do rainbows. They can be seen on average twice a week in Europe and parts of the United States. The 22ยฐ radius circular halo and sundogs (parhelia) are the most frequent.Here is a microscope picture of a few possible ice crystal shapes:
The site is full of pictures and examples (including theoretical halos formed by CO2 or Methane crystals on other planets). I can highly suggest taking the time and clicking through all of the menu items. It's an amazing subject.
Edit: In the pictures of the original news item, note that there is also another "sun" appearing on the street. This seems to be an internal reflection inside of the camera lens, since it's diametrically opposite (measured from the image center) to the real sun.
I hope its Nibiru, then I can leave this shit place here in Holland. End of slavery!!!!
