So what’s happening here? Well, these clouds are created when moist, stable air flows over a mountain or hilltop. When the air passes over the mountain or elevation, it condenses, forming a cloud.

The wind pattern then compresses the cloud, leaving it in this very unusual and cool-looking flat shape.

So, it might look like a UFO, but it’s actually a lenticular cloud."
