Stunning Phenomenon: Giant 'Lenticular Cloud' at Sunrise in Turkey

A breathtaking natural event recently occurred in the city of Bursa, Turkey: A giant cloud shaped like a flying saucer, professionally known as a 'lenticular cloud', was documented by enthusiastic residents who quickly captured the remarkable sight in stunning photos. 

In 2019, beautiful lenticular clouds were recorded in Russia as well, but what is captivating about these images is the special light reflection created above the mountain range where the view was captured. 

Take note of the lenticular clouds photographed in the northern part of the Ural Mountains:

They're beautiful, but still not similar to those captured in Turkey, which appeared with the early morning sunrise:

So, what exactly are lenticular clouds? Here are a few facts you shouldn't miss:

- Lenticular clouds are named for their round shape, reminiscent of a lens. 

- These clouds typically form over mountain ranges due to strong wind gusts that push water vapor upward. 

- Most lenticular clouds have a surreal and otherworldly appearance.

- These clouds form only at altitudes between 2,000 to 5,000 meters. 

- They are created in conditions of high humidity in the air.
