Strange spiral cloud baffles experts
FoxNews.com/Science ^ | Feb 11, 2019 | James Rogers | Fox News

The cloud, which resembles a jet’s vapor trail or a rocket launch, was photographed last week on Salisbury Plain in Southern England.

SWNS reports that neither U.K. defense officials nor university weather experts have been unable to explain the cloud. The image was taken near a Ministry of Defense testing range.

However, the U.K’s Defense Infrastructure Organization is not aware of any exercises that could have caused the cloud.

Just coincidentally near a testing range. The DIO can play dumb, maybe even be ignorant, or can be just plain lying.

Missile launch. No doubt about it.

You mean he same Salisbury Plain that is home to the largest armored vehicle training area in England?

Gee, it's a mystery why missiles would be fired there...

It’s a mystery that there are any armored vehicles in the UK with the welfare state eating up everything bit by bit.

Dust devil?

Maybe.

“A dust devil is a strong, well-formed, and relatively long-lived whirlwind, ranging from small (half a metre wide and a few metres tall) to large (more than 10 metres wide and more than 1000 metres tall).

The primary vertical motion is upward. Dust devils are usually harmless, but can on rare occasions grow large enough to pose a threat to both people and property.[1]

They are comparable to tornadoes in that both are a weather phenomenon involving a vertically oriented rotating column of wind.

Most tornadoes are associated with a larger parent circulation, the mesocyclone on the back of a supercell thunderstorm.

Dust devils form as a swirling updraft under sunny conditions during fair weather, rarely coming close to the intensity of a tornado.”
