| | | Jellyfish clouds
Rare clouds in the shape of jellyfish have caused a sensation after being spotted in British skies for the first time in a decade.
The unusual clouds known as Altocumulus Castellanus have a unique shape complete with tentacles and have not been seen in Britain for 10 years. Jellyfish clouds stun weather-watchers but could precede a sting in the weather

Just to add-perhaps these could account for some flying saucer reports.
