A mysterious UFO-shaped cloud baffled skiers when it appeared in the sky over Sweden.
The bizarre cloud floated in the sky over ski resorts Åre and Duved on Thursday, prompting some to speculate that Martians had arrived for a day on the slopes.
Many rushed to take pictures of the unusual phenomenon and posted them on social media.
"I thought it was pretty cool," one of them, Elvira Kuper, told broadcaster SVT.
Experts explained it was a so-called lenticular cloud, which forms over mountain peaks when the air is forced to rise as it hits the hillside. As it cools it condenses into a cloud.
Thanks to their peculiar shape, they are often mistaken for UFOs.
Here are some of the best pictures of the cloud:

Probably. But it is theoretically possible for a cloud to have that brightness/color in the mountains, in the AM or PM when the sun is up and the valley where you stand is still in shadow.

They didn’t stick around after they found out how much the lift tickets were............
To: Red Badger
Lol, unless Trump is draining the swamp and gas must be let out in the process.

The aliens really hate it when the cloaking device malfunctions like that.

It is aliens. They were attending the Davos meeting, but when they were asked to take a share of Muslim immigrants, they chose to vanish.

As in this case, the pic is obviously of a misidentified Venus.

What exactly are those donuts supposed to signify?
I have my suspicion but it's not nice.
