    Thank you Frank for the link. My son is a meteorology major and I think he will find all of this interesting. Great shots as well.

    Most of his lenticularis cloud species are orographic clouds that are created over mountain tops. Pity he doesn't care about scientific designation (mammatus species) - his collection would only gain by that.

    Frank,

    I had the pleasure of seeing some Mammatus clouds over my house a couple of summers ago. Of course I didn't have a camera with me. Maybe there should be a section "The one that got away".

    I think we've found an explanation for many 'flying saucer' reports. At night the scale would be more difficult to ascertain, I imagine.

    Chris,
    very rightly you say you had "pleasure" to see mammatus clouds! I remember seeing them for the first time when I was 16 years old - a truly impressive view of an almost brown stratocumulus mammatus at a close range after a mighty tempest. Altough I was very impressed by the strange phenomenon I didn't take any picture of it either... only to have the sky photography as one of my photographic specializations many years later... I would give half of my kingdom for that view again...
