Explanation:
Is that a cloud or a flying saucer?
Both, although it is surely not an
alien spacecraft.
Lenticular clouds can be shaped like a saucer,
and can fly in the sense that, like most clouds, they are composed of
small water droplets that float on air.
Lenticular clouds are typically formed by
high winds over rugged terrain and are particularly
apparent when few other clouds are in the sky.
Lenticular clouds can take on
particularly strange, layered shapes.
Above, a couple stopped their car near
Yellowstone National Park
in Wyoming,
USA to photograph this
lenticular cloud behind picturesque
windmills.
