Lenticular clouds are a rare weather phenomenon often mistaken for UFOs because of their smooth, lens-like shape. According to the UK’s Met Office, they form when stable air flows over hills or mountains and creates standing waves in the atmosphere. Moisture condenses at the crest of these waves, forming layered, saucer-shaped clouds that look strikingly artificial. "These strange, unnatural-looking clouds sometimes form downwind of hills or mountains … They look a lot like the traditional shape of flying saucers in science fiction," the Met Office notes, adding that such formations have often been mistaken for unidentified flying objects.
