Juan O. Sanchez – Close Encounters of the Cloud Kind

Juan O. Sanchez – Close Encounters of the Cloud Kind

This photograph was captured on November 7th, 2025 at 11:53am. This photo was taken facing south on Foothills Pkwy, Boulder, CO. It was cropped and rotated to center the odd UFO-like cloud structure, and nothing else has been altered. Despite the amount of clouds in the sky, the day was still fairly sunny. The sun itself can be seen in the unaltered photo, above the cloud structure slightly covered by what appears to be some sort of stratus clouds.

I believe the UFO-like cloud structure to be some form of cirrus cloud, but I am not sure on what type. A Skew-T diagram diagram provided from data at the Grand Junction/Walker Field Co. Station (Station 72476) is attached below.
