This photo of a Cirrostratus cloud was taken with an iPhone 12 Pro in Boulder, CO on November 16, 2022 at 4:41pm facing West. Below is the corresponding Skew-T Chart for that day which shows cloud formation at about 7000 meters, which is a common altitude for Cirrostratus cloud formation.

Straight out of star trek!
This cloud looks like a space ship! quite cool. I like the various lighting effects on the cloud. Very interesting
The color and shape are wow. The cloud looks so elongated, it’s really interesting.
I love the vibrant colors, it really adds a lot to the texture of the cloud.
This is a super cool image of a really unique cloud formation that almost looks like a spaceship. I do think though that this is an altocumulus formation, not cirrostratus, and that the ones in the background may be cirrostratus.
Those colors are so awesome! I’m really glad you drew out some more blues and contrast during editing.
I like the sharp contrast in colors between the bright orange and dark gray in the cloud.
I love the sun’s rays that come through the cloud and the dissipation of the cloud concentration further into the mountains.
Its very interesting to get multiple looks at the same cloud. Super happy coincidence!
I love the golden highlights in the dark bottom of the cloud. I agree with your thought it looks like a spaceship or a plane coming over the flatirons. I see a fighter jet flying from left to right.
Same cloud as Martin!? Insane
