The 'Unifying Nature' Of Clouds: Take A Tour Of The Sky With The Cloud Appreciation Society |
Founded in 2005, the group — which is comprised of more than 48,000 cloud marvellers and spans 120 countries — are everyday people on the lookout for "weird clouds," founder Gavin Pretor-Pinney says.
They've even helped the World Meteorological Organization to acknowledge a new type of cloud called asperitas — wavy, thick clouds that resemble snorkeling underwater on a turbulent day, Pretor-Pinney describes.

For a cloud's name to be official in the meteorological world, he says, it has to be published in the atlas.
High clouds, such as altostratus or cirrus, are made from small ice crystals of water, he says, while low clouds, such as cumulus, are made from tiny droplets of water.
"Typical cumulus clouds are low clouds you see on sunny days. If you add together all the droplets — [it's the] same weight as 80 elephants — they're really heavy in terms of the water but they're in the form of tiny droplets so they all stay aloft in the air," he says.
Florida UFO sightings by the numbers: Sunshine State sees its share of unidentified flying objects
Florida has Cape Canaveral and 21 military bases that send fast-moving objects across the skies, but Floridians aren't seeing more UFO's than the rest of the country.
In fact, Florida sightings are average compared to much of the country, when you look at the overall population of the state, but we do have our share.
* * *
If you look strictly at the number of reports, Floridians claim to have spotted 6,604 UFOs since tracking began. That's roughly 30 sightings for every 100,000 people and puts us pretty much in the middle ranked at 29. California leads the way with more than 13,500 sightings, followed by Alabama with nearly 10,100.
In 1952, UFOs Over Washington Sent the National Press Into a Frenzy - HISTORY
If 1952 marked the year that UFO fever spread across Cold War America, events in late July of that year spiked that mania to critical levels. That's when the grandfather of all "saucer" sightings took place in the skies above the nation's capital, causing a coast-to-coast collective jaw drop.
Over several weeks, up to a dozen unexplained objects repeatedly streaked across the skies over Washington, D.C.—spotted not just by crackpots, but by radar operators, professional pilots and other highly credible witnesses. The Air Force scrambled fighter jets, but the 'saucers' outran them. Around the U.S., sci-fi-like headlines blared, rumors flew and sightings soared.
When President Harry Truman quietly called for answers, a representative from the Air Force's secret UFO-investigation team , Project Blue Book , was summoned to D.C. But before anyone could fully probe the incidents, the Air Force hastily convened a press conference to quell the panic, blaming the whole thing on the weather.

'Wow, What Is That?' Navy Pilots Report Unexplained Flying Objects - The New York Times
WASHINGTON — The strange objects, one of them like a spinning top moving against the wind, appeared almost daily from the summer of 2014 to March 2015, high in the skies over the East Coast. Navy pilots reported to their superiors that the objects had no visible engine or infrared exhaust plumes, but that they could reach 30,000 feet and hypersonic speeds.
In late 2014, a Super Hornet pilot had a near collision with one of the objects, and an official mishap report was filed. Some of the incidents were videotaped, including one taken by a plane's camera in early 2015 that shows an object zooming over the ocean waves as pilots question what they are watching.

But the objects have gotten the attention of the Navy, which earlier this year sent out new classified guidance for how to report what the military calls unexplained aerial phenomena, or unidentified flying objects.
'Fleet of UFOs' Followed US Aircraft, Navy Pilot Says | Space
Between 2014 and 2015, seasoned pilots in the U.S. Navy experienced a number of harrowing encounters with UFOs during training missions in the U.S. While pilots were mid-flight, their aircraft cameras and radar detected seemingly impossible objects flying at hypersonic speeds at altitudes up to 30,00 feet (9,144 meters); these mysterious UFOs did so with no visible means of propulsion, The New York Times reported on May 26.
* * *
Two of the pilots who spoke with The Times about the inexplicable sightings share their stories in the new History Channel documentary series " Unidentified: Inside America's UFO Investigation ," premiering May 31.
Video of two aerial encounters appears in the series, showing clips of UFOs: one tiny white speck and one large, dark blob. These UFOs later came to be known respectively as "Go Fast" and "Gimbal."
