Description
On Thursday, a cloud floating over Bursa, Turkey, was spotted and posted on social media. The cloud formed the shape of an unidentified flying object (UFO) and shocked people online with its almost perfectly amused roundness. Some were in state of shock while other were happy to notice such phenomenon as can be seen for the first time by all of them.
The cloud formation phenomenon was known as a lenticular cloud. It remained intact for almost an hour, after which it did disappear. While it was clear in the sky, many photos and videos reached the internet as people shared over to witness the rare phenomenon. The images showed a stunning sunrise amid which a giant cloud floated above Turkey, with a hole in the middle of the cloud giving it a UFO-like appearance. The images and clips quickly went viral as users started calling the cloud a UFO when Turkey's state Meteorological Service explained that the images captured a "lenticular cloud." Lenticular clouds are known for their round, UFO-like appearance. Usually, these clouds can be formed at heights between 2,000 and 5,000 meters. Atmospheric saturation over mountainous places and air fluctuations may lead to such phenomenon.
