    As many of you know, I fly for a living. In 15000 hrs, I've seen a few cool things. But check out this cloud formation I saw flying over the Pacific last year. The video doesn't do it justice. It was really strange looking. And the fact we were thousands of miles from land made it all that much stanger. No orographic lifting.

    Very interesting. I have seen the northern lights several times while flying polar routes. Commercial flights, I was just self-loading freight.

    Wow, very cool and odd formations.

    After reading the possible explanation, I wouldn't go anywhere near them.

    I assume you are referring to the pics in post #6.
    Not sure if those "roll clouds" are real or not.
    I found the pics on the web.

    If they are real, they are very strange indeed!
