I have observed the same phenomenon at sunset on one occasion.  It was in
the winter, and at about 2000 meters altitude.  I assumed at the time that
the altitude had something to do with the effect:  perhaps something to do
with the air's density?  Another possibility is reflection,  but all this is
just guessing.  Any experts?
