IF YOU’RE IN Dublin at the minute, you may be able to spot this:
But, if you’re easily scared and think it’s some kind of alien invasion, then you probably need to calm down and talk to someone with a medical qualification, because it’s just a cloud.
The cloud is an altocumulous lenticularis, or a flying saucer cloud.
They are formed when air flows collide with man made objects or mountains and could be seen from Tallaght to Glasnevin earlier today.
So, while some of them look like UFOs, you’re probably safe for now. They mostly come at night, anyway. Mostly.

Never seen that before.. Looks amazing!!
Only in Dublin would you get unusual clouds
Surreal looking even.
Saw these type of clouds in co Waterford year or so ago whilst walking the dog, I’d never seen them before and nearly ran home screaming like a demented madwoman. God, I watch way too much SciFi.
Than you don’t look up enough.The sky can be seen only if you take tour eyes off the screen of your phone and look up.Last few summers had evening sky riddled with this type of clouds.Sometimes they can be seen even in winter; December ’14 was full of rainbows,more than in summer. Look up,people,see the blue sky not the grey pavement covered in gum.
What the hell are you on about mia.?? I always look around me.. I just stated i never seen clouds like that.. Climb down off yourself..
I’m not saying it’s aliens but it’s aliens…
definitely aliens
Nuke the site from orbit, its the only way to be sure…..
Well it is nearly Independence Day !!!!
There are a number of distinct cloud formations. But what surprises me more is that he have blue skies in Dublin. It’s all cloudy here in the west.
Mayo calling, mayo calling. Not only cloudy but raining. Whats all this about a heatwave ?
I’m in Waterford and it was cloudy and raining this morning.. Has just cleared up now and it’s lovely out.. I’m sure the same will be on its way to you..
what happens outside dublin stays outside dublin
Haha.. They must be smug clouds from all you dubs!
it was bound to happen at some stage. my farts do smell amazing though.
Looks like a wifi symbol
Saw them this morning over the Naas road – beautiful and a bit spooky at the same time!
It’s not aliens, it’s just clouds….. Yeah, that’s what they want you think PANIC PEOPLE!!!
The lady who sent in the last picture as a screenshot must’ve been near a mast or something, she has full reception.
Lily whites pride and dignity which evaporated last Sunday!
Aren’t they common in Japan and the U.S.?
Yeah very popular. they have loads of friends.
Moist friends lol.
I bet Enda’s thinking up a way to tax those clouds.
Clouds are NOT aliens!?! Thank you very much for that information, Journal. I no longer have to crack open the heads of my neighbours and feast on the goo inside. Well done.
Pity it’s not a Spaceship coming for Enda and Co
That would be a sign of intelligence then?
http://www.nationaldebtclocks.org/debtclock/ireland turning a corner hummmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you ever had a moment of fun in your life?
Its just good high pressure, something we rarely experience

Where’s the gdp clock Bobby, it’s running faster or can you comprehend that ?
Pity it wasn’t a real mushroom cloud..
DEATH CAP? LOL.
Kevin, so you’re wishing the horrible deaths of hundreds of thousands of people? A large amount of those possible being from Munster. School is over for you for the summer I’d suppose, primary school that is.
Gone nuclear…
Please stay in Munster.
Puff the magic cloud?
Just your run of the mill giant probe from the moon base.
Nothing to see here.
its the icloud
Wasn’t that exactly what the Cllr in the West was talking about last year?
He was right.!
Don’t be fooled I’m in ballyfermot and the place is full of aliens. They’ve landed and are asking the whereabouts of the social welfare office.
Very usual, so it is what shapes them into that form.
Myself and the hubby spotted these clouds on the way to hollis street this morning and it sparked off a conversation about sleeping on clouds. Not an alien was mentioned ! But it could be aliens ….
Its ok people, no need to panic. We’ve got something no other country has! Its……….. Supermuppet himself, our supreme leader enda kenny!!!!!!!
Beautiful clouds and an indication of wave lift which is much sought after by glider pilots. Know a guy that got into that kind of lift over Blessington and was climbing at 4m/s with full airbrakes deployed. That’s 200 feet per minute climb with no engine and trying NOT to climb.
I took a pic in ITT, really cool!
Since when is a cloud news neal i can c u with your tin foil hat.There’s a lot of people living in the clouds here!!!

Sure, We’re the only Intelligence in the Universe! Nuclear plants exploding are good for you and so is Genetically modified foods. Nothing to see here folks.
