| Small cloud becomes trapezoid shape and disappears What appeared to be a small, darker cloud rising diagonally faster than normal clouds in the area became a trapezoidal shape with straight edges and faded into the background color. I would guess it was about thirty feet across. ((CORRESPONDENCE WITH SOURCE OF REPORT)) Night time, or daytime, sighting, please? Was it 07:30 hrs., i.e. in the morning? Thank you for the report! Peter Davenport NUFORC ((RESPONSE)) Yes, 0730 hrs. Weather was broken cumulus clouds 90% coverage at about 2000 AGL, 20 mile visibility. Temp probably around 56F.

Rarely am I speechless, but this event did it!
