Lenticular cloud formation from June 25th, 2011. Submitted by Ashley Spencer. A lenticular cloud is a high altitude cloud frequently mistaken for a number of atmospheric phenomena/objects, such as UFOs and tornados. Although they usually form around mountains, they can sometimes also form near frontal boundaries by wind shear.
