  A few times each year in Santa Clarita, the conditions are just right for these strange clouds to form. They’re sometimes called “UFO” clouds because of their rounded, saucer-like shapes and hovering behavior. In the scientific world, they’re known as Lenticular clouds (Altostratus lenticularis), or “standing wave” clouds, and generally form over, downwind of, or sometimes upwind of mountain ranges. The cause is interesting… Air (wind) moves much like water – it flows over the surface of the earth and when it encounters surface features (like mountains) it flows up and over them like boulders in a river, generating ripples/rapids in the airstream above and downwind. Lenticular clouds form when moist air from lower altitude is forced up into colder layers of the atmosphere where it condenses, usually at the peaks of the air “rapids”. As the air descends down from the peak of the rapid, it warms and evaporates, the result being a cloud that remains mostly stationary while other clouds at lower altitudes (and cirrus at higher altitude) moves past it. This basic diagram shows a bit of what’s happening: www.tpub.com This event occured in the afternoon and evening of March 9th, 2010 and provided some spectacular skies around sunset. Another interesting item in the sky near sunset was a jet trail fragment cross in the nearly perfect shape of an X-Files “X” – even the font was right! Two still images captured with a Casio EX-F1 at 12x zoom show this interesting feature close-up …

   You would almost certainly need some mountains around to get these types of clouds, but I understand that it’s possible to get them on rare occasion, even with small variations in surface terrain – usually when there are very strong winds. Do keep an eye on the sky – you never know what might show up there! Sounds like your waters might make for some good filming…

   I have not had the good fortune to see Nacreous Clouds in person, myself, as they are pretty rare, very high altitude, and most common near the polar regions. We do get some cool irridescent clouds here in southern CA though – like the ice crystal rainbow effects seen in this vid

   @jcmegabyte Yeah we get some good t-storms around here in the summer and lake-effect snow in the winter. I have a few videos I uploaded of lightning. My favorite is called “Crazy Lightning during Thunderstorm”. Another cool one I have is called “Lightning Storm – July 23, 2010″

    I’d bet you get some good thunderstorms there too! Lightning is one of my favorite natural lightshows, and we just don’t get very much if it around here…

    Thanks for stopping by! =)

    Wow, those clouds are so beautiful. I wish we had clouds like that around NW Pennsylvania. We do have very pretty sunsets over the lake though.

    Advanced propulsion methods are indeed interesting to contemplate. I’ve been fascinated with stuff like that ever since childhood, when I mused about designing a flying car
