A mysterious UFO-shaped cloud appeared above mountains and baffled skiers who were stunned after seeing it in the sky.
The bizarre sight could be seen over the Duved ski resort in Sweden earlier this week and many stopped on the mountain to take photographs.
Nature photographer Sara Björkebaum spotted the cloud and uploaded a picture of it to her Instagram page, ‘bbaumish’.
Björkebaum, from Sweden, wrote, “Weird weather, cool clouds. I think I may jump on that spaceship.”
Experts have said that it was a “lenticular cloud”, which typically form over mountain peaks.
They usually appear when the air rises near the mountains, and as it cools, it creates a cloud.
An unidentified flying object, or UFO, in its most general definition, is any apparent anomaly in the sky that is not identifiable as a known object or phenomenon. Culturally, UFOs are associated with claims of visitation by extraterrestrial life or government-related conspiracy theories, and have become popular subjects in fiction. UFOs are often identified after their sighting. Sometimes, however, UFOs cannot be identified because of the low quality of evidence related to their sightings.
Stories of fantastical celestial apparitions have been told since antiquity, but the term “UFO” was officially created in 1953 by the United States Air Force to serve as a catch-all for all such reports.
