Peter - awesome shots - was that flight a little bumpy? Those are the sorts of lenticular clouds that really get the ufologists in a froth! And sorry, everyone, I should have mentioned what a lenticular cloud is, so thanks VancouverIslander!
pog - yep, definitely a lenticular. I was trying to figure out the location of that shot and think it might be from Mauna Kea many years ago. I think that observatory at the bottom could be the old UH 24-inch telescope, but the shot would have had to have been from the very late 70s or early 80s. Plus that's an unusual place for a lenticular cloud to form over Mauna Kea (to the west of the mountain - they usually form to the east) so it could well be elsewhere.
Nana - a couple of my own shots!
