Are the aliens finally invading? Lessee, Roswell, NM UFO crashed 1947, no new cloud formations recognized since 1951. I guess it's time. :wink:

Dunno about aliens, but you certainly found some severe WIND! :shock:

Nice catch.

Have seen the second kind in Esso, Kamchatka, though to a much more localised extent. Very impressive!

We see mammatus clouds somehwat frequently in North Texas with the spring and fall thunderstorms. They're caused by downburst winds. The same kind that knock airplanes out of the sky...
