This is the spooky moment UFO-shaped cloud appeared on the summit of Mount Agung in Bali, Indonesia.<br /><br />This rare weather phenomenon occurred for two days in a row last Friday and Saturday (May 22 and 23) in the Karangasem Regency.<br /><br />Many residents believed that the shape of the clouds was similar to UFOs. Some say they resembled a hat or a plate.<br /><br />The same shape of clouds appeared after the eruption of Mount Agung on January 23, 2019.<br /><br />Iman Faturahman, head of the Data and Information Division from the Region III Meteorology Climatology and Geophysics Agency in Bali, said the phenomenon was Altocumulus Lenticularis, or lenticular clouds.<br /><br />Clouds that normally appear near mountains are formed by humid air masses driven by the wind towards the top or top of the mountain. Air masses undergo a process of condensation to form clouds.<br /><br />The clouds do not impact on the communities around the mountains but aircraft can experience turbulence if they pass through these clouds.<br /><br />Lenticular clouds are also dangerous for mountain climbers as they limit visibility.
