Mammatus clouds! Rare and beautiful.

Although not being UFOs,these rare Mammatus clouds are amazing to look at.
They form when a combination of ice crystals and rain droplets,in saturated air,begin to sink and have been described as the freaks of the cloud family.
If I saw them Id run for the hills!

Thank you for those pictures. I have to admit they creeped me out a bit.

Thanks for the pics. I've seen clouds like this before but never thought about what they are called.

Awesome pictures, thanks for the post. Hope I someday get to photograph clouds like this myself. All part of natures beauty.

I've seen clouds like that before when I lived in Michigan!

I've only seen them once, and that was right before a storm came in, but we were in awe! Those clouds are amazing to see!

Very cool pics. Thanx for sharing. I too would probably run for the hills if I saw that.

Those pictures are amazing. Probably pretty scary to see rolling in though!!!

Here some more interesting cloud photographs posted by another member on the UFO board.Theres some amazing images on this one.

Check out the UFO photograph on the link just above- its a freaky one(about 15 images down)

I knew about those...it used to be a hobby of mine to take pictures of clouds. The one time I did encounter them was when I was living in Texas. Those pics are great examples of mammatus clouds, very impressive.

I don't believe I've ever seen clouds like that beofre. Cool picture, and yeah I think I would run for cover if I saw one of those freaky looking clouds overhead.
