I see Fujisan has its white cap on too. It was wearing one of those when I tried to hike up it, but there was no lenticular in the wake. So we got the horizontal rain as we got close to the summit (and decided to abort as a result) but didn’t get to see a super-cool spaceship cloud. Double lose.

Yawn.

Hang out near Seattle and Mt. Rainier for a while. Not all of them are as good as this multi-wave set from a few years ago (http://www.komonews.com/weather/blogs/scott/35631614.html), but we get huge singular ones like the Fuji images all the time, usually as the weather is changing.

Do a web search for “Mt Rainier Lenticular Clouds Images” to see more.

Yep, alien spacecraft. Phil is, of course, a paid NASA disinfo agent!

What I really loved about the video was the ads that appeared at the end for “cloud computing” services!

I’m not saying it’s aliens, but…. it’s aliens.

I’ve always loved lenticular clouds, and living in the Midwest, I only get to see them when I travel. Thanks for sharing!

I lived in Japan while an A-7 pilot on board the USS Midway (homeported in Yokosuka), and one year my parents came to visit, and I decided to take Dad on a hike to the top of Mt. Fuji.

This story brought back some fun memories.

Looks more like a flying pancake
