Hi all,

Just a question brought on by this BBC report:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7682106.stm

Someone in the video says that lenticular clouds could be the cause of a lot of UFO sightings. Lenticular clouds can look like fying saucers. There are plenty here.

However, I find it highly unlikely that anyone could think that a Lenticular cloud was a UFO unless they were looking at a photo for the following reasons:

I enjoy taking pictures of strange looking clouds, which is why I am a member of the cloud appreciation society (look at the lovely pictures here: http://cloudappreciationsociety.org/) and I have never seen a lenticular cloud. I am talking about the UK where I live, so they may be common elsewhere in the World, but it seems that the numbers of lenticular clouds seen are far less that the number of UFOs seen (I have never seen a UFO either, I suppose though)

Clouds tend to move slowly across the sky wheras UFOs either hang still or shoot of at extrordinary speed according to the reports I've read.

So there you go. You might think a photo of a lenticular cloud was a UFO since you couldn't see it move and you didn't have any idea of the scale (which you cannot do with clouds. Small clouds look the same as large clouds)

Please tell me if you agree or disagree with my points. I don't think you can mistake a lenticular cloud for a UFO and that it is a lame excuse for a cover up but please tell me if I'm wrong.
