Searching for flying saucer lookalike clouds, this one really impress me by its perfect classic flying saucer shape, partially hidden by cloud and for the wonderful iridescent colors.

I see a hand about to throw a frisbee in a tricky way?

It looks like a beautiful shot of ice crystals. What a shot it is too! It's amazing what decent optics or even good sunglasses can make sharp and clear sometimes, isn't it? So well defined in the angle too.... Nice!

Well, it really does look like a UFO. Somewhere in the back of my mind I always wonder if they are and just cloaked...

As an amazing picture as that is... And it is, Im thinking of copying and putting on my desktop wallpaper.... It really doesnt belong here in the Alien/UFO forum. Maybe if this thread were one that points out many objects that get mistaken for a UFO.

Agreed. 99% of threads in the UFO forum are not UFO's, and this one most definitely is not of a UFO either. Wrong forum.

Even though Im a skeptic. I lurk here more than anywhere else in the hopes I see something I cant explain.

Call me idealistic.

There is a scientific explanation to why they look like that. They are called lenticular clouds.

Lenticular clouds (Altocumulus lenticularis) are stationary lens-shaped clouds that form at high altitudes, normally in perpendicular alignment to the wind direction. Lenticular clouds can be separated into altocumulus standing lenticularis (ACSL), stratocumulus standing lenticular (SCSL), and cirrocumulus standing lenticular (CCSL). Due to their shape, they have been offered as an explanation for some Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) sightings.
