Is it a UFO - or is it just a cloud?

A UFO-shaped cloud was spotted hovering in the sky above Jilin Province in China last week - making it look as if an alien craft was about to touch down.

These unusual-shaped clouds, known as 'lenticular clouds', are saucer-shaped clouds that form at high altitudes, often near mountains, but they have occasionally been spotted in the UK.

Due to their shape, they have been offered as an explanation for some UFO sightings - and it's easy to see why.

This one was spotted moving fast through the sky near the Changbai Mountain at the boundary of China and North Korea. After two minutes it was absorbed into a huge cloud cluster and disappeared.
