UFO over Saddleworth

Minutes after taking the photo in the PiP I was amazed to see this cloud formation too. It is actually called a Lenticular cloud which are stationary clouds that form mostly in the troposphere, typically in parallel alignment to the wind direction. They are often comparable in appearance to a lens or saucer. Nacreous clouds that form in the lower stratosphere sometimes have lenticular shapes.

The second PiP shows the same formation a few minutes later, which to me, looks a little more like a UFO.

Of course I could be wrong about it being a cloud and it really was a giant UFO (˚◡˚)

Enjoy full screen.

An image that would make me look twice at the sky. I don't believe in UFOs, but I did look twice because I had doubts. Kind regards, Anton.

In that we both agree Chris. A great 15 minutes of red sky here, and the UFO was a bonus.

What a wonderful sight Herb...............an Unbelievably Fun Object..!!

Seriously though, that sky is just amazing, especially with the dark and dramatic clouds (including the UFO) and the wonderful colours. I like the silhouetted foreground too.

A cracking capture ⭐️. I really like UFO in the PiP too.
