Post by: steely07 on April 10, 2002, 03:42:29 AM

One of these,Lenticular cloud today,had seen pic's before and knew what it was,just surprised me i had never seen one before....
 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 :)

Cool photo, thx

thats what i was wondering tronsky :).  I did a google search and i found that same pic here (http://www.crystalinks.com/lenticular.html ).  Perhaps he used it as an example and did not have a camera on hand.
