Strange Cloud On The Horizon

Reader Marie, who's been spending a week on holiday here in the Millionaires' Playground, writes:

Did anyone else see the weird cloud formation that rolled over Ramsgate on Monday evening ahead of the storm we had? It looked like the condensation trail from an enormous rocket. Is there any explanation for it? I enclose a photo for your blog.

Well Marie, Ramsgate has seen its fair share of UFOs and other strange phenomena over the years. And as regular readers will know, a great deal of stale, hot air flows out of Uranus and drifts in a north-south direction over the island. My best guess, though, is that RAF London Kent Ramsgate Manston International Airport has been allowing the space shuttle to do training circuits again, but if any readers have a better idea do let me know.

Looks like one of our Sandy's rolled up carpets? Now you see it now you don't.

We used to blame the Russians but now it's probably the Chinese.

A giant spring roll in the sky?

This is a natural weather pattern and occurs a lot, but this is an exceptional example.

I once observed men and women trembling when a damn fine example of this cloud rolled over the Quantocks (hills that is).
