Weirdest Clouds I have Ever Seen?

Alien Space Clouds? Trippy Atmospheric Phenomenon

All of a sudden, birds are falling from the sky, dead, and we frail little thinkers find signs of the apocalypse. Fact is, strange events occur all over the big blue marble, there’s just a heck of a lot more of us to capture them with our digital memory devices. Then the media (hey, that’s me!) jumps all over it and the next thing you know people are seeing the Virgin’s face on tortillas from San Luis Potosi to San Luis Obispo.

All of which is a rather nonsequitorial way of introducing this odd vulcan incident. In 1986, Alaska’s Mt. Augustine erupted, spewing gas and dust into the air. Through an uncommon but by no means extraterrestrial series of occurrences, water and ice condensed on the dust and wind currents swirled the stew into these bubble-like clouds. Creepy, eerie, and natural.

Just wanted to share these photos I found on this website.
I have never seen anything like this outside of 'Close Encounters'!
I wish I was there when this happened, simply amazing.
Enjoy. . . AB

THAT IS THE WEIRDEST FREAKING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN... THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF REALLY STRANGE CLOUDS ON THIS PLANET LATELY... WONDER WHY??

thanks for sharing, Ive never seen anything quite like those before!

I think those are just typical mammatus cloud type formation?

< br />
Cool images none-the-less Especially since they involve volcanic dust and ash!

Have you seen the newest cloud phenomena "Undulatus asperatus"?





Thanks for the cool pics!

Peace,

WOW thanks for sharing , found something similar..

Small clarification.
Asperatus are not a "new" cloud. Their classification as a separate cloud type is new.

Undulatus asperatus - sounds like a vegetable dish!

That's is really cool also, I haven't seen pictures of these yet.

Thanks for the pictures also, I thought this was limited to volcanic eruptions.

This person states the photo was from the 80's. Plus he explained how it happened.

I'm fine, thank you.
No chilling necessary.

The clouds in the OP look like lots of big rhinoceros penises...lolzz, snort snort etc.

Very nice, S&F for you!

Very strange looking cloud formation filmed in Moscow.

I have actually seen clouds like this.

However, they were not as stunning as what you posted.

S&F

I was lucky enough to see this phenomena on my vacation to Spain a few years ago.
Wasnt fully as amazing as those pics, but wasnt that far off.

Another beautiful cloud phenomena: www.environmentalgraffiti.com...

Stunning photos! Thanks for sharing, (S&F of course!) here are some others of the same Mammatus kind to complete the collection:

Weird title. "Weirdest Clouds I have Ever Seen?" I dunno! Are they? Only *you* could know the answer to that..

They look cool tho, dunno why I never see anything cool like that.

They're freakin beautiful.

Giving thanks to everyone for the pics!

if i saw clouds liek that i think i would freak out

Wow those just trumped roll clouds as my favorite.

I would be a little freaked out by those. They are very cool yet very alarming to look at..


I love cloud and lightning pics. I am always googling these two looking at pics. I havent come across these clouds before. Very cool!
