If you're in California in the near future and have the time to make it to Mt. Shasta there's a chance you might see some of these wicked lenticular clouds that sometimes hover above. These crazy clouds that often look like UFOs are formed along mountain ranges all over the world.

That is a fantastic picture, looks like an atomic bomb - cant say I really understood the Wiki explanation though.

Wow, those clouds look awesome! I love the way that they're so smooth and clean looking. Really excellent. The wiki-explanation is bit much, as the other posters say. Well, at least it looks cool!
Would love to go ski'ing through those clouds, it's almost as if they're soft tissue or marshmallow like. That's it, the remind me of UFO marshmallows... or UFO ice cream. Something smooth and creamy.
Fantastic pic, by the way.

this is a great Lenticular shot... I recently caught one on Mt. Adams as well, and around here as well as Shasta the UFO story is common.
