Lenticularis clouds

In southern Spain we can get some dramatic cloud formations and great sunsets.

One evening I saw a cloud formation I had never seen before.

Rushed back inside to get a camera before it disappeared and this was what I had been looking at.

I believe they are called Lenticularis and named as such because of their smooth and soft appearance. Apparently, they are commonly reported as UFO’s. I am told they appear downwind of mountains or hills – which are in abundance locally. 

They also appear to hover in place even when there is wind.

Enjoy.

  Perhaps the Sydney equivalent of this is to go to the beach – Bondi beach. The name is very well known. Bondi was originally ‘’Boondi’’ which is an aboriginal word which describes the meaning as the noise made by sea waves breaking on the beach.
