- gdfields, on 05/13/2008, -5/+271My Japanese is a little rusty but I think I understood this to be a phenomenon that occurred not long after nuclear testing done in the vicinity of "Monster Island" (home to many indigenous species of lizards, turtles and moths.)
- RSS14, on 05/13/2008, -10/+147Did anyone else ***** bricks when they thought the narrator was Megatron giving a signal to the Decepticons?
- Totz83, on 05/13/2008, -2/+138According to the Sapporo Meteorological Observatory, these low-altitude stratocumulus clouds were rolled into long, distinctive ribbons after becoming trapped in air currents. While it is not uncommon for wind to form such patterns in stratocumulus clouds, photos that clearly show the clouds rolled into strips are rare, says the observatory.

- orlyfactor, on 05/13/2008, -9/+94Someone's been seeding them thar clouds.
- Gnappy, on 05/13/2008, -3/+76That's what happens when those wavy lines on the weather guy's map goes past the dew point and then comes back down right?
- MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -0/+63GOJIRA!!!
- LJU1492, on 05/13/2008, -1/+63See "Undular Bore Clouds"

- ats314, on 05/13/2008, -1/+45It never ceases to amaze me how quickly and accurately people find and give answers to these posts. Just a few years ago I probably would have lived the rest of my life thinking aliens were creating cloud patters to communicate. Somebody needs to harness the greater power of this process for more good.
- Sillywombat, on 05/13/2008, -1/+43In Japan, even the clouds are tidy and clean!
- awtripp, on 05/13/2008, -3/+43lol... that's a gem even if you were serious.
- CeeAyy, on 05/13/2008, -2/+44Actually he is right, it is caused by gravity waves, also known as an Undular Bore.
- musntSurfatWork, on 05/13/2008, -1/+28Every cloud has a silver lining.
..and some have sausage casings. - Angostura, on 05/13/2008, -6/+32Not gravity waves, I think you mean standing waves, where the air traveling over mountains subsequently produces an oscillating stream. each 'crest' hits the dew point and creates clouds.
If this were case, such clouds should be fairly common at this location.
Anyone speak the language? - jasdf, on 05/13/2008, -9/+33I believe this may be caused by gravity waves on the leeward side of a mountain range.
- inactive, on 05/13/2008, -1/+23Precisely. Not that uncommon either.

- stronglikedan, on 05/13/2008, -0/+19I was half expecting it to turn into an AT&T commercial.
- DonSlice, on 05/13/2008, -5/+26Something as dynamic as a cloud formed in a straight line is most definitely strange.
- tillerman00, on 05/13/2008, -6/+25Yeh. Reckon them's some of them thar chem trahls.
- solidus23, on 05/13/2008, -3/+21*spit* Yeeeaaapp..
- archlich, on 05/13/2008, -0/+19Slightly rare, but not all that strange.

Also, apparently it's not normal at all. The pilot said he'd never seen anything like it in 35 years of flying.
- flashingcurser, on 05/13/2008, -0/+16I understand that the Honda industrial robotics lab is stationed there as well.

- BrapAllgood, on 05/13/2008, -3/+18It's not plagiarism when you provide the source. Go have another cup of coffee.
- ttam, on 05/13/2008, -0/+14I'm more perplexed as to why Homestar Runner is in the lower left corner.

- AtomicTheory, on 05/13/2008, -3/+15Ummmm, could no one else hear the transformers in the background ? Obviously its a ploy for Megatron to get the cube.
- krekc, on 05/13/2008, -0/+10Last one to leave, turn out the lights.
- mogebier, on 05/13/2008, -3/+14I welcome our new Alien Cloud Overlords!

- khail250, on 05/13/2008, -1/+13No one lives in Michigan...
- kiley481, on 05/13/2008, -0/+10I was taught to call them 'Lee Waves,' but I think most people call them 'Mountain' or 'Gravity' waves ... They typically occur on the leeward (opposite of windward, hence the name) side of mountainous terrain.

- gdfields, on 05/13/2008, -1/+9That's right! Thus the quotes around "Monster Island" - Good catch!
- gameforge, on 05/13/2008, -1/+9http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_wave
That page has a pic of them occurring over Wisconsin. - OwdenBowden, on 05/13/2008, -0/+8Gravity Waves my ass. It is clearly Mothra.
- BluFox, on 05/13/2008, -1/+9It's Mother Nature's RSS feed.

- inactive, on 05/13/2008, -2/+11Dugg, even though you should have said 'their.'
Why do homonyms baffle people so? - vroom101, on 05/13/2008, -0/+10Look at this cloud pattern over the Sahara Desert in Mali...

- geobay, on 05/13/2008, -1/+10I saw clouds just like that last year in upper Michigan. They formed and dissipated over about 30 minutes.
- ophello, on 05/13/2008, -0/+8he didnt do anything
- Kune171, on 05/13/2008, -0/+6Yes, as a matter of fact, I did ***** bricks when I first heard the voice.
