Texans Keep Confusing Clouds For UFO’s

By: Laura Meyers

Everything is bigger in Texas, including the aliens and tinfoil cowboy hats.

A number of sightings were reported to The Mutual UFO Network last month when Texans kept confusing circular clouds for UFOs.

The initial report reads as such:

“It was not witnessed by me, but friends of mine who wish to remain anonymous. I do have a picture that closely resembles what they claim to have seen. It looked like a cloud at first, but its appearance was circular and disappeared before there eyes. Me, myself personally; I’m not to sure what they actually saw, but one of them told me that it was okay to give y’all their number, if y’all are interested in contacting them. One of my friends, who witnessed this can give you further information; Than what I provided for y’all. I’m not to sure of what actually happened. But, I will provide y’all with as much information I can. My number is on the contact information that I provided and so is my e-mail as well. I’m hoping that we might be onto something, but that is for y’all to confirm or deny. Also, I’m into alien conspiracy theories; as well as, ancient alien theories. I hope to hear from y’all soon and from there we can discuss this matter further. I’m not doing this as a joke or to get attention. I’m doing this to prove my friend is telling the truth and that there is more to this than we thought possible. It might play in to what I’ve been speculating, but as I said before we can discuss this matter further in person. Ty, and have a great day.”

And of course E.T.’s ship made it onto Twitter as well.

It’s happening…. Rare “UFO” Cloud Formations Spotted Above Texas http://t.co/oc2rHKh5sF

The formations are really just “lenticular clouds,” which are created when warm humid air is rapidly funneled into cooler regions, and then quickly disappear.

However, meteorologists have said that weather conditions for such a cloud are, indeed, rare in Texas, since they are normally formed over mountains.

A meteorologist with ABC30 News guessed that recent massive storms left behind a mass of cool air that acted like a mountain. Muggier currents ended up caught in twisting winds in the sky, and voila! You have a Texan UFO.
