Not A Flying Saucer.....

Yesterday an unusual weather phenomenon over the mountains East of Albuquerque, a lenticular cloud caused by winds slamming into the other side of the mountains.

@Kachina624 It's a stunning photo! I'm so glad you know the particular phenomenon to cause that appearance. Years ago people would have definitely claimed it to be a UFO. I always enjoy seeing pictures of your part of the country!

That's really cool! I live in Colorado and we get those kind of clouds, especially along the front range. Sometimes Pikes Peak looks like it's wearing a hat.

Can, you explain the one i saw on the news last night, in hawaii. Alot, of people called a sightings in the sky. Looked, like one to me. Long and blue, looked like right out of star wars. Looked like a jedi lightsaber. I, would like to know what that was.

Gorgeous photo. You live in a lovely part of the country.

The UFO explanation ..... hmmmmm

Seems every time there is a UFO, there's always a denial. I'll take your description though as a fact.

Thanks for sharing.

I mean...that’s what “they” tell you to believe. But, we know that’s really little green men in there.

Seriously though, awesome photo. Love seeing strange cloud phenomena.

I would like to think it is a UFO. We could use one right about now. The History Channel often has shows where they talk to commercial and military pilots, and astronauts, and they acknowledge seeing UFO's. Their stories are fascinating, if not a bit frightening.

@Kachina624

Thanks for the picture...I had seen one on a Weather Channel show recently that dealt with cloud formations.

@jlkz. There are about a million really spectacular ones you can google. Apparently they're not that unusual.

@moxie11

The article I read didn’t give an explanation of what was seen. Sounds like they are still investigating what took place.

CooooOOOoool. Great photo!

(I want to believe... but not really. Interesting to think about, tho.)

New Mexico is called "The Land of Enchantment" which was a phrase first used by journalist and author Lilian Whiting in her 1906 travel guide where she used the phrase to describe the states of NM, CO and CA. The original book cover showed a picture of Colorado's Pikes Peak. I would have to agree with her words. The SW is beautiful and magical.
