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.

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.

Aw, Joe! You remembered my favorite color too. Thank you so much.

Thanks again, CC.
