A spokesman from the city's weather forecast said: 'Several fronts have been passing through Moscow recently, there was an intrusion of the Arctic air too, the sun was shining from the west – this is how the effect was produced.'

He added: 'This is purely an optical effect, although it does look impressive.

very cool looking effect.

~I like it too...although I have a hard time believing their reasoning behind the formation....but I'm sure this is what the government *wants* us all to believe.

Why would you think that Laurie Ann? Nature is capable of some pretty amazing feats.

~Hi hun. Oh my, do I have some pretty awesome pics of what Mother Nature can show us. But this one, I just get a feeling about and the government wants to cover this up with the ol "weather balloon" theory. But this is just my opinion too. I know alot of times I say things in posts that doesn't make alot of sense to most, and only confuses the rest. But I just have a certain feeling about this one picture. This one, in my opinion, has not a thing to do with the weather, the sun, or anything Mother Nature wise.

You mean our government?

~Our government, their government, any government or whatever you want to call it...it's any government that wants to keep this kind of stuff "hush-hush".

Actually there is a scientific explanation for this formation. With converging frontal systems sometimes warm air is trapped near the ground. Since warm air rises, a convection current begins to rise through the cooler air mass above it. Similar in effect to a chimney, the rising air starts the clouds to spiral around this air column. (Visualize the warm air rising through the center here.) This creates the doughnut effect seen here as it draws nearby cloud water vapor with it. Depending on the time of day, sunlight above the clouds can add to the visual effect. Here it seems everything has come together just right.

Very impressive cloud pattern and quite unusual, but explainable as not paranormal or UFO related.!

But wouldn't it be easier to cover up if fewer people saw it? I mean thousands in Moscow witnessed it and hundreds of thousands more world wide have seen it on the Internet. If you think about the most famous UFO cover up here in the US - Roswell - only a few people were actually there to see what was found and maybe a dozen or more were privvy to the information surrounding it. It's easier for the government to say a few people are crazy and what they thought they saw wasn't real, than to cover up something witnessed by so many.

~Maybe so hun, and although I highly respect both your & Caverats opinions, I'll just stick with my gutt feeling. Scientific reasoning maybe the answer here to some if not all, but I truly believe it's something else. I enjoyed reading both your posts as most of the time, I would've changed my mind because I would've seen it from another aspect, a way that I wouldn't have thought of before. But this time I have to stand firm that I truly believe it's UFO related. No biggie because I respect the both of you & your opinions....this one just happens to me mine.

The pic looks like the balloon that Balloon Boy's dad punk'd everybody with. I'm just sayin' lol.

That is definitely weird, but whatever the government thinks isn't going to matter to me. If there were scientific evidence of what really happened, it might matter a little more to me. But mother nature does weird things. If it doesn't hurt us in any way, why pay it much attention?

I'll admit its a cool formation, and i have NO idea what it is, but it's interesting.
