The unidentifiable flying object that a PIA pilot had claimed of seeing and many had speculated of being a UFO has turned out to be a lenticular cloud.
Space scientist from Punjab University, Javed Sami, confirmed that the flying saucer that the pilot saw last week is a lenticular cloud. Lenticular clouds, usually in perpendicular alignment with the wind path, are stationary clouds that form mainly in the troposphere. They are also identical to a lens or saucer in appearance hence the confusion.
Earlier this week a PIA pilot took a picture of a shiny, moving object in the sky and claimed it was a UFO. “The UFO was extremely bright despite the presence of sunlight,” the PIA pilot had said.
