STRANGE CLOUD FORMATION PHOTOGRAPHED IN THUNDERSTORM.
Description: I live in Vicksburg, MS. I saw this strange cloud formation today as a front moved in. It was about 4:00 PM central time. I took several pictures close and far away. I don’t see any reason clouds would make this outline of a half circle. It is so very odd! Has anyone you know of seen this before?
Note: This photo is not of a UFO. The cloud formation is interesting, but unusual cloud shapes are common in severe thunderstorms. The cloud is not a funnel cloud.

It is probably just turbulent air. Cold weather funnels can form, but they are usually seen after a front passage.
