JellyFish like UFO photographed over Denmark

This is a photograph of a jellyfish like UFO captured over Denmark. The sceintific exlanation given (show below) i think is a bit off. To me it looks like a mushroom cloud from a sudden explostion possibly from grey gun powder (because of the lack of smoke folowing the explosion) in theory, if it were infact a vapour of mist flowing from the top of the craft, wouldent it be blown strait off the top instead of flowing to the bottom and drifing away?? anyway thats just my opinion. Here is the link to the site-

Wyborg, Denmark, 1974, taken by H. Lauersen. This incident was investigated by Maj. Hans Petersen of the Danish Air Force. The vaporizing effect is explained by scientists as being the result of the surface of the UFO being cooler than -180 degrees Celcius. Because of that, the surrounding air becomes liquid and flows toward the Earth, which gives the object its jellyfish-like appearance.

I read somewhere, here on ATS i think, that the image shown is actually a cloud, and is a natural phenomenon.
Though i could be wrong.

Yes i did a search on this but nothing came up so thats why i posted it up here...

it looks like lenticular cloud. they can often be mistaken for ufo's. here are some examples - images.google.be...

looks like a cloud to me


EDIT: spelling.....spelt cloud with a v.....go figure

OH...MY...GOD.

That looks almost EXACTLY like the man-o-war that latched onto my leg in the Bahamas on Y2K. It almost killed me! I ended up in the hospital for 8 days....ICU for 2 days. My heart rate got up to 180 beats per minute, and they almost called a code on me. Not exactly a near death experience, but one of the scariest moments of my life.

Man...that was a life-changing experience.

Funny thing is....is that I asked for a sign from God about a question I had...right before it stung me. Boy, howdy...that was definitely a sign from God!

Hmmm....here's a theory: what if all the jelly-fish and man-o-war in our oceans are actually little tiny ET's....and that is their mother ship?

And what if aliens really are gods?

If so, then that means....when I asked for a "sign from God"...my wish was granted!!

It goes to show you: be careful what you ask for...you just might get it. And be VERY specific when you ask God for signs!

But notice that almost all of them photos of Lclouds are taken during an overcast or a storm? and they have an almost "solid" look to them, when the jellyfish ufo is in clear skies. I think that an explostion is more spot on

umm, nope. i dont see that at all. most of those lenticular cloud pictures have a relatively clear sky behind them and most dont look solid either. they just look like odd shaped clouds - just like your picture. have a flick through a few of the pages and you will see more examples. im sure photo analysis will show the difference between an explosion and clouds but im pretty sure it is just lenticular cloud

It looks like a cloud to me...

Besides I don't think there is a place called Wyborg in Denmark Maybe there was in 1974 even though I doubt it...

cant be a lenticular cloud, there are no mountains or hills in Denmark, its a damn flat country! So theres no high altitude etc!

Maybe they were meaning Nyborg, Denmark?

Either that or Vyborg (a little closer in the name), which would be in Western Russia near the border with Finland.

Though a google search did come up with a Wyborg somewhere on the Jutland Penninsula that was supposedly a rather large town back in the 1600s(ish).

Jutland is the real name of where the photo was taken, but according to google earth there is no stuch place called Jutland or Wyborg. I havent done that much reading up on Lclouds, is high alltitude needed for one to form? the aparent UFO looks to me like its only a few hundred meters in the air.

Yes, lenticular clouds usually only form over upland areas.

To be honest, that 'ufo' picture does not look like a natural cloud to me. Especially with that dark 'rim' that gives it the saucer appearance. Also, lenticulars do not normally have 'scud' below them to create the impression of tenacles.

I'm not sure what it is. But there's not enough in the picture to determine size, nor to see clearly what the atmospheric conditions were at the time.

Never heard of the Battle of Jutland? The largest naval battle of WW1. Come on, you cant have missed that one?

Jutland is also a name for Jylland I believe, which is a part of Denmark (the island where Copenhagen is if I'm not mistaken).

Regarding the UFO, I think its a cloud.

I've been looking back through some old pictures, searching for a picture I think I have of one of these, but no luck so far; however, look what appeared this past Sunday:

Click for a look at the uncropped image. It's not as defined as the Denmark image, but you can see all the same features.

It was taken by a friend, and the original exif data didn't survive the various moves to my system and ImageShack, but here it is for those interested:

Camera make : SONY
Camera model : CD MAVICA
Date/Time : 2006:07:23 18:53:26
Resolution : 640 x 480
Flash used : No
Focal length : 12.6mm
Exposure time: 0.0020 s (1/500)
Aperture : f/4.0
ISO equiv. : 100
Whitebalance : Auto
Metering Mode: matrix
Exposure : program (auto)

It was taken from precisely here.

Ok, here's one of the things forming. It was too dry that day for tendrils to form; as a matter of fact, within a few minutes of this shot the cloud had sucked itself inside-out and dissappeared *poof* along with most of the other clouds in the sky.

Click for a slightly larger view.

BTW, there are three mysterious orbs just below the cloud.

I guess it's too bad I already know they are a Mississippi Kite (large dot) being mobbed by two Mockingbirds (little dots). But knowing that puts a size to the cloud: the funnel was only about two blocks away.

Rand, sorry to go off topic, but is there a UFO case that leaves you baffled, is there a case that you feel could well be ET related?

Ezekiel has always intrigued me, as have the Hindu Vedas. Rendlesham was looking good, but it turns out that the NRO/CIA suddenly took an interest in that area in the months before the event.

There have been others, but so far they all fail under close scrutiny. There are tons of sightings which are promising but will probably forever be unidentified because they're just plain unidentifiable. I'm still holding out for the event which has enough information to be positively identified as non-terrestrial.
