 To explain,i have been around aircraft and lived within 10 k's of Sydney's international airport all my life (29 yrs :() and am always looking at the sky when i'm outside (just a habit),i know these clouds are rare,and this is way OT but just thought i'd share :)

It's an atmospheric disturbance caused by the UFO's propulsion system, that is why they are rare

But now that I've told you, I have to kill you :)
