Very Odd Clouds (w/pics)

It's 3.30AM here (GMT), I was just going to get a coffee to keep me awake while I did some work, I looked out of the window and noticed the strangest clouds. I grabbed my camera and took a few pictures from the dining room window.

I have never seen clouds like this before.






I have larger images (1600 x 1200 pixels) available. If you would like them, U2U me. The larger images are obviously much better for seeing the clouds detail.

Major chemtrails dude! good pictures though. I'm finding that they are spraying more at night now because people are slowly catching on to the spraying so they are trying to hide it from us in the dark. Very sneaky.

Chemtrails?! I didn't even hear/see any planes or anything. The clouds, or whatever they were, have completely gone and it's now 03.46 AM (GMT).

Are you 100% sure they're chemtrails?

the photos you posted could be cirrus clouds,

I know these are not exactly the same, but they do carry the same characteristics, if you look to the right of the pic I just posted, you will see the familiar begining's of what was in your pic.

They're high level cirrocumulus clouds. Very common clouds, but they look pretty cool. Here are some pics of more of them.

Close, but I think they are Cirrostratus.
One of my favorites..They are responsible for Halos around the moon..

Maybe a Weatherguy will pop in and Name THAT cloud..

Those clouds reminded me of an article I read called:
Mysterious glowing clouds targeted by NASA

Hope this helps.


God Bless

Meh, I can never remember the cloud names. I know which ones to look for from when I was flying sail planes, but I can never remember the official names.

You've got a nice washboard thing going on there. Did you notice the image in the clouds (second picture from top) that looks kind of like a big alien head on the left of the picture? That's pretty interesting. I see two eyes, and a shiny spot on the head.

Oh, butermilk sky!

Thanks for the info, guys/gals. It's much appreciated.

Seeing the clouds were unbelievable, it's a shame my camera sucks and most of the details weren't captured. The only way I can describe it is, it was like looking at an x-ray, but instead of it being 2-D, it was 3-D, glowing blue, and massive. They kind of reminded me of looking at ribs, or an exoskeleton.

Hope I see something like it again.

xeroxed88 - I just saw this on the front page of spaceweather.com:
www.spaceweather.com

ELECTRIC-BLUE SKIES: Last night, bright noctilucent clouds swept across northern Europe. "'I stepped outside at 2 o'clock in the morning and witnessed a great display--the best I have ever seen!" says Alex Lloyd-Ribeiro of Durham, UK.

Summer is the season for noctilucent clouds (NLCs) and, true to form, the summer solstice on June 21st kicked off three straight nights of electric-blue. For reasons as mysterious as the clouds themselves, these displays have been concentrated over northern parts of Europe. The comings and goings of NLCs are not well understood, so watch for them no matter where you live.

~DearWife

havent u ever heard of the northern lights mr.?

I've heard 'em called "mackeral skies". I always heard they mean rain is on the way. They resemble fish scales. Do a google picture search of mackeral skies and see what comes up......

there's also some weather prediction that comes along with 'em:

www.boatsafe.com...

Mackerel skies and mares' tails
Make tall ships take in their sails.

Ah, just noticed that those were illuminated at 3:30 am

That lends a lot of credence to Dearwife's suggestion.
Noctilucent...They used to be very rare. But I've heard recently, that they are showing up more and more, in the twilight hours..

I think a lot has to do with more people with more cameras.

Check this cloud out

They look like chemtrails to me!! Chemtrails always ripple. And most of the time you can't hear the planes becasue they fly so high.
