There is noting more stunning than watching a sunset especially when the sky turns to all different colors as the sun sets.

This is a time lapse I got of the sun setting over Donegal Bay on Tuesday evening 15/3/16 which I loved watching as the sky changed to different colors of red, blue, yellow and orange.

That evening I got a bigger surprise just before the sun had gone fully gone down when rare Lenticular cloud formed over the bay.

As air flows along the surface of the Earth, it encounters obstructions. These are man-made objects, such as buildings and bridges, and natural features, like hills, valleys, and mountains. All of them disrupt the flow of air into eddies. The strength of the eddies depends on the size of the object and the speed of the wind. It results in turbulence classified as ‘mechanical’ because it is formed through the “mechanical disruption of the ambient wind flow”.

The wave systems cause large vertical air movement, enough that water vapor may condense to produce precipitation. The clouds have been mistaken for UFOs (or “visual cover” for UFOs), particularly the round “flying saucer”-type, because these clouds have a characteristic lens appearance and smooth saucer-like shape; also, because lenticular clouds generally do not form over low-lying or flat terrain, many people have never seen one and are not aware clouds with that shape can exist. Bright colors (called irisation) are sometimes seen along the edge of lenticular clouds.
