strange clouds near ludlow ca by hy 40

I was camping with friends at the steadman mining area,last weekend.

Everyone was asleep at 4:30 am. I could not sleep due to flu symtoms. I was sitting in my truck over looking Hy 40. Twilite was beggining to apear on the horizon, when I noticed a chevron shaped cloud about 15 miles to the east. I thought it strange that this cloud was so stationary, because we were expierencing high winds at the time.

I observed this cloud rapidly change shape, seperate into two at great distance apart, change back to one with a small satalite typ companion. It seemed to make these changes in breif intsances when I was looking elsewere maybe in a miniute or two. I also expeirenced some ringing in my ears, don't now if it is related. I have never seen clouds behave in this manner before.

I am a self employed contractor not a meteorologyist, maybe thier is an explanation for this event.
