Seen this several times and attributed it to ice crystals refracting light in cirrus clouds

Yes I agree. I first saw this phenomenon about 8 years ago in the form of an inverted rainbow at a high elevation in a a blue sky with whispy clouds, which at the time seemed incredible, however I came to the same deduction.

Must have been quite a sight, well spotted and well caught!
