We had some freaky clouds here a couple of days ago. Imagine rumpled satin sheets flipped upside-down. In my 53 years, I’ve never seen anything like it.

The ones over the Alpine Inn don’t look real! They look like something from an ‘Alien’ movie.

So basically a new type of cloud started to appear in 1951. Clouds are patterns of condensation. Condensation occurs at a cooling saturation level. SO, a new pattern of cooling saturation levels started to appear in 1951, after thousands of years of humans viewing clouds.
Sounds completely natural to me...
(and to you too, if you know what's good for you).

I usually grab the family and run to the basement when we see clouds like that!

The second photo is something I have never seen before. The others are pretty common here in Oregon.

Looks a lot like Mt Saint Helens after a heavy snow and a few years since the eruption.

That is what I was going to say, it looks like Altocumulus lenticular clouds to me. See them all the time, although not as stable as in your pictures.

So does this mean we are going to get a new cloud czar? Maybe next week we can get a rainbow czar too.

Yes, I am very familiar with these types of clouds with Mt. Rainier in view most of the time.
