The "blue sky" phenom is caused by the aiming recticle used by the sun (to aim it's rays) being misaligned by the hard drive. This misalignment causes a parallax error, and in turn a flare, which, because of the oxygen stratification as air approaches the horizon, is polarized into a blueish hue, which is perceptable to humans.
