    I didn’t know they were rare, I’ve seen one before and it was strange.

    Somewhere around in my computer, I have pictures of the only roll cloud that I have seen, taken in ‘05.
 
To: SunkenCiv
    I would love to see one of those in person.

    At first glance it looked to me like a wall of ice, as if this town were much further north. :’)

    I wouldn't call this one a roll cloud but I caught this one twisting overhead a week or so back.

    Truth be known..these are alien constructed conduits through which their aircraft can penetrate our atmosphere. They can then do their abductions and other hideous acts.I have established an Alien Observation Corps. We are diligently watching the sky!

We must keep our eyes on those Rolls!

    That looks like a Van Gogh painting, CC. It’s gorgeous.
I hope that JoeProBono colorizes it for you. [for me...]

    They should go back to interactive constellation images for a while. What part of astronomy don’t they understand?
Apparently the “astro” part.
