Awesome! Lenticular clouds over Mt. Rainier.


I have taken these pictures on December 5, 2008 at 4:55 P.M. at NE Tacoma!
Lenticular clouds, technically known as altocumulus standing lenticularis, are stationary lens-shaped clouds that form at high altitudes, normally aligned at right-angles to the wind direction. They have been mistaken for UFOs (or "visual cover" for UFOs) because these clouds have a characteristic lens appearance and smooth saucer-like shape.
