Weird "Wave" Clouds.

By Alex in Pictures on Jun 27, 2006 at 1:45 am


A weird weather phenomenon made the skies over Eastern Iowa looks like a scene right out of the sci-fi movie "Independence Day". Local TV station KCRG reports:

I thought I was going to see alien spaceships come down through the clouds," said Casey Dunagan.

Some say it looked like a scene from the movie “Independence Day.” Others had more down-to-earth descriptions. It almost reminded me of ocean waves rolling in," said Suzanne Staab. I thought it looked like a nice frothy cream on a latté," said Robin Morris.
