Images showing a mysterious circular gap that appeared in the clouds over a North Carolina highway have ignited a scramble for explanations on social media, including the possibility it was created by a UFO .
North Carolina TV station WBTV was the first to post a photo on Monday, with an explanation that viewer Phil Lambert of Lenoir had taken the photo on Old Mountain Road in Iredell County.

Not long after, photos from other people began to appear on Facebook, with some commenting — perhaps tongue-in-cheek — that the shape was not unlike the gap that might be left by a descending flying saucer ... or a cloaked USS Enterprise ( a Star Trek reference .)

Lufthansa strike ends but is more to come? | ITIJ
The strike occurred over cabin crew's pay and conditions and forced Lufthansa to cancel 1,300 flights. This meant that around 180,000 passengers' travel plans were disrupted.
Lufthansa said that it would do everything it could to minimise the impact of the strike on its customers. It said that passengers travelling between German airports can exchange their tickets online for rail tickets, while other passengers will be offered alternative flights. "Lufthansa condemns the strike call in the strongest possible terms," the airline said. "We apologise for any inconvenience caused."
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.

UFOs Remain Elusive Despite Decades of Study | Space
In July, the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) celebrates 50 years of investigating and promoting research on the unidentified flying object phenomenon. The all-volunteer, nonprofit, science-based organization has endeavored since 1969 to hunt down answers about baffling vehicles of unknown origin.

Won't you please join us in our quest to discover the truth?"
