Those are cirrus clouds, they are thin and wispy, the sun isnt in front of them you can tell cause where the cloud is, the sun is somewhat blurred (hard to see, but only because there is a small amount of cloud in front of the sun) but since the cirrus clouds are so thin, you get an effect similar to when you shine a bright flashlight through a piece of paper
Also, ive flown through clouds kiddo

You flew through lower atmosphere clouds. Not the thicker more distant clouds the occur many miles beyond the sun. Also, the above picture (which tries to refute the Near Sun Hypothesis) shows clouds both in front and behind the sun. Why would it shine through some and not others? Also, I'm pretty sure power lines are MUCH denser than clouds. While this pic attempts to argue against the Near Sun Hypothesis, it raises the question: why is the sun "bleeding out" power lines that are obviously close (and much denser than clouds), but not less dense clouds very far away? The logic makes no sense. You have: (1)Nearby (dense) cords: obliterated from view by sun. Then, (2)Much farther (less dense) clouds: in front of sun. Then, (3)Other clouds (apparently) obliterated by the sun. I'm saying its not logically consistent for the sun to obliterate powerlines (which are dense and close), and then obliterate one type of cloud and not another. The lines are closer than the sun. We know that. But the clouds are further away, and yet one is obliterated and the other is not? Seems to me the only explanation for that is that the set of clouds being obliterated are behind the sun.

Bleeding is what happened, you can see because the denser cloud is slightly thinner than the outside, and the same thing would happen to the power lines, making them not visible And you fly through low clouds in a prop plane(40,387ft), middle clouds in a jet(60000ft), and the upper stratosphere in the SR-71(85,135ft), beyond that is space, where clouds can't form, because the moisture will almost instantly freeze
