Mysterious clouds appear over Bursa, Turkey, much like a UFO flying saucer
CTOnews.com, January 23 (Xinhua) residents of Bursa, Turkey recently found clouds that resemble UFO flying saucers in the sky. The video quickly made local headlines after it was uploaded to social media. The video has been visited 1.1 million times, and many people commented that "the aliens are finally here."
Turkey's National Weather Service said the clouds that appeared in the sky did have a circular shape with a hole in the middle, but not a UFO spacecraft. What appears is a natural phenomenon called lenticular cloud. CTOnews.com learned that they usually appear at a height of 2000 to 5000 meters in the sky and can be seen in winter. They are formed when the air in the atmosphere is stable and humid and fluctuates with strong winds.
This phenomenon is very common near the mountains, and Bursa in Turkey is located at the bottom of the mountains, so it is very likely to happen in Bursa, and there is nothing unusual about it. The formation of clouds is also a sign of precipitation, and rain is expected in Bursa in the next few days.
