Extraordinarias fotos de nubes en forma de tornado


Suspended in the atmosphere and bewitchingly bizarre, these are the incredible cloud formations that have been leaving gazers in a twist.

These fantastical formations of lenticular clouds - or Altocumulus lenticularis - look as though giant corkscrews have descended from the sky.

The strange - yet stunning - cloud patterns were caught on camera over Mount Rainier National Park in Washington State, U.S.
Cloud cover: These spectacular 'corkscrew' shapes in the sky are known as lenticular formations, which typically occur at high altitudes 

Cosmic spectacle: The strange beauty of the lenticular cloud formation is all the more evident against the backdrop of the starry night sky at Mount Rainier 

Fascinated: Amateur photographer Tyler Mode said he loves nothing better than taking his camera out on mountain hikes in the hope of capturing of the clouds 

Bizarre and bewitching: The formations, which have become a common sight in the mountainous region, have enchanted many 

Dramatic: Lenticular formations - or Altocumulus lenticularis - are stationary lens-shaped clouds  

Explaining the unexplained: On occasion, the clouds have been offered as an explanation for some UFO sightings, due to their unusual shape
