Heavens Above! Motorist Spots Incredibly Rare 'Flying Saucer' Cloud Formation
The clouds shaped like extraterrestrial motherships are caused by wind blowing over high ground
A motorist couldn't believe his eyes when he looked up to discover half a dozen ‘flying saucers’ floating through the sky.
Despite the fact the UFO-like objects were in fact an incredibly rare cloud formation, Glen Spencer, 42, pulled over to grab his camera and snap the incredible scene.
The clouds shaped like extraterrestrial motherships are caused by wind blowing over high ground which then undulates down in a stream of waves creating an odd rippled effect as the air cools.
The phenomena, known as 'altocumulus standing lenticularishey' is the most common explanation given for UFO sightings.
The pharmaceutical technician said: ‘I was driving to the shops and I looked up and saw them and couldn't take my eyes off them.

‘I tried to follow them to higher ground to get a good view.
‘They were just so mesmerising and I thought they looked amazing.
‘It is easy to see why people mistake them for UFOs. They are brilliant.
‘I’ve never seen anything like it.’
The clouds usually happen when the air meets objects - like buildings or mountains - and the thickness of the cloud creates the incredible contrasts of light.
