Are those UFOs near that mountain? No -- they are multilayered lenticular clouds. Moist air forced to flow upward around mountain tops can create lenticular clouds. Water droplets condense from moist air cooled below the dew point, and clouds are opaque groups of water droplets. Waves in the air that would normally be seen horizontally can then be seen vertically, by the different levels where clouds form.

Those are actually UFOs, they just use clouds to mask their presence.

Great pix, Joe - thanks. I enjoy “lennies” often from K7 (N78CM). Been flying gliders since the ‘70s. Even had two friends who got up over 10,000 on wave lift over =Miami= in the early ‘80s. Not many mountains here!

Are those UFOs near that mountain? NoOf course not, because only someone who is really screwed up in the head would believe in UFO's.
Way cool pics, btw!

“The Crawling Eye”, starring Forrest Tucker. My ex-wife was related to Forrest Tucker. This explains a lot of things.
