It’s not CGI or aliens invading - this is a super rare cloud formation ☁ Known as a ‘lenticular cloud’, this particular example was spotted in Bursa, #Turkey. #Bursa lies at the base of a mountain range - which makes this phenomenon more likely. Tap the link in @bbcnews bio to see video footage of the extraordinary sight.

Here's a better picture of those clouds which I have learned are called lenticular clouds and are the result of turbulence and eddies in the air currents caused by the mountains #lenticularcloud
