Re: Astronomical Events
Unfortunately it was very thick fog here also last night..couldn`t see anything
..but i found a link to some beautiful pictures of "UFO" clouds.
The latin name of the clouds are LENTICULARIS, and they are formed when pretty strong wind in the height is blowing over a mountain range:

Jo,were they all bust ? I know 2011 was a bumper year for apple but ''Raining Apple"' is just too funny.
You must be envious,as you don't have your own apples yet.
I suppose you could call it a weather phenomenon.
