The Real Story Behind Turkey’s UFO-Like Cloud
The cloud’s floating, seemingly dusky vermillion appearance drew a lot of attention, and people couldn’t stop themselves from photographing this strange cloud structure hovering over Turkey. But it’s not as strange as it sounds. According to Fox Weather, it was a lenticular cloud formation, which is typically found draped over or floating near mountain tops and ridges.

They are formed when that layer of the atmosphere is just on the verge of saturation, according to IT. The gentle lift provided by mountain tops provides just enough cooling for the air to reach saturation and form a cloud. As the air sinks again, it becomes warmer and drier, leaving saturation behind and becoming visible once more. The cloud may appear to be static, but air is constantly flowing through it.
