If you're still wondering what kind of cloud it is, 12 News meteorologist Krystle Henderson explained:
"Those clouds are notorious for being described as UFOs.They have a smooth, oval flying-saucer shaped look. They can be singular or stacked like pancakes. If. you Goole lenticular clouds you'll see other photos and see what I mean."
Weather.com says that lenticular clouds form when "relatively stable, fast-moving air is forced up and over a topographic barrier."
