Is that a cloud or a flying saucer? Both, although it is surely not an alien spacecraft . Lenticular clouds can be shaped like a saucer, and can fly in the sense that, like most clouds, they are composed of small water droplets that float on air.

Lenticular clouds can take on particularly strange , layered shapes.
