Lenticular Clouds by Joe White, on FlickrRecently changed job and moved to North Wales. I've never seen (in 54 years) this kind of cloud formation anywhere before. Stunningly beautiful - but really weird too! Wiki suggests that mountainous areas and very specific weather conditions - including eddy currents of air movement coming off the mountains are behind their creation. (The mountains in the background are Snowdonia.)
Thought to be behind claims for UFOs - its not too much of a stretch to see why. They stayed around for a long time before dissipating perhaps an hour later.
Anyone else come across these before?
