MikeyB is right on the money.all yesterday I obsevered 'mackeral clouds' traveling from North-west to east-south east,all day-this usually means a good sunset (and it was check out my 'winter sunset pics' in terestrial photography).also put a pic on this thread,note the speckled nature of the cloud away from the west,my son did a time lapse video of these yesterday-they were moving fast.
These mackeral cloud formations continued into the night,I have'nt observed these types of clouds for a long time.
According to the kiddies UFO book,various types of cloud formations are responsibe for many UFO sightings world wide,geuss which type of cloud formation was in the top 3?
Anyhow,Ron-sounds like you have a dedicated 'UFOologist' and the many resonable explanations will not suffice.
Good luck Ron.
